‘Bread of Heaven’

I had a very troubled sleep last night, but I found this old Welsh hymn a comfort–Cwm Rhondda. In English, Bread of Heaven; but that’s only one of several hymns carried by this melody. And if a Welsh choir can’t stir your soul… well, you’re missing something wonderful.

  1. Wonderful hymn.

    I would like to make a request. Joyful Joyful, but sung by a Welsh choir or comparable to it, and not something like, what I thought was a disgraceful and disrespectful rendering of that hymn by the choir in Sister Act 2, starring Whoopi Goldberg, nor any of the modern versions of that hymn.

    1. I can very easily imagine what you’re looking for, but can’t seem to find it on YouTube. Don’t worry, though–Whoopi Whatsername is not going to appear on this blog.

      I was really eager to hear a Welsh men’s choir sing this hymn… Well, maybe better luck in the morning.
