Bwlch y Moch

Just a nice day out for a walk, took my video camera with me. Had been humming this tune all day, Something I herd on you tube.
Filmed 26 08 2007.
No one is certain how the Pyg Track came by its name; possibly from Bwlch y Moch (Pigs' Pass) over which it passes. (It is sometimes spelt Pig Track). "Pyg" in Welsh also means 'pitch' and may refer to the dull black pitchy appearance of the path in one location; or it may have been the route used to carry pitch up to the copper mines. A third possibility is that it was named after the Pen-y-Gwryd Hotel nearby, by the early climbers who stayed there."

@jimsim3

You know I feel that the music is floating all around us, some of us (when feeling this connection ) can take what they "feel" and translate it into music that we can hear,so all can really hear it (it is like translating what is unheard into what can be heard).........I do not know if this music is from this area,but it most certainly reflects what these mountains feel about........

@SiggyStern

O yes... primeval feelings connect all of us within the magic moments.

I think the three rays of light is so apped.

I did not have to "think" it just was floating out of me,and it trully was as if the moon was singing and calling to me it was such a strong feeling......Awen comes when something "touches" you......deep within

[SiggyStern]

@jimsim3

Yes they are!! And this song....when ever I hear it,I am there!! That is what I love about music,they make you "fly to those places in your dreams"..........when I am in nature than I look around me and wait....what I feel within, every place has it´s own energy and sometimes it "sings" to me and than I just play what I hear, or I answer!! When I was in Wales, one evening the moon was out so beautifully, I could not resist,I had to take my harp and sit beneath a tree and play...

@SiggyStern

Enchanted Yes! Never thought of them that way, but your right they are, aint they.

I felt like that when I saw the himalayas too, wanting to see more. Question. If you are sitting with your harp. and watching the most beautiful scene of light rays breaking thru the clouds in a perfect Awen. what would you play to reflect it,s dance? Do you an awen song of sorts.

@jimsim3

Your mountains have already spoken to me,they were singing so much to me that it almost made me cry of joy (this tune on this film really IS like the voice from there too)....while I was in Wales,I would always go to the fence and look into the direction of these beautiful hills that I could see and I was enchanted!!!!

[jimsim3]
