About Hyfrydol
Hyfrydol, meaning 'cheerful,' was composed by Rowland Huw Prichard when he was 18 years old, in 1844. This popular, singable hymn tune features the vocal range of only a sixth.
This descant was written for the Choir of St. Peter's Peterston for services featuring the new (Easter 2010) Nicholson organ at Llandaff Cathedral in Cardiff, Wales (below).
