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.
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.
I’ll try to find exactly what you want.
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.
OK, thanks.
