Plygain i ddechreuwyr!
Submitted by Dafydd on Sat, 2006-11-11 14:40. EventsMae carolau Plygain1 yn rhan bwysig o Nadolig draddodiadol yng Nghymru, gyda geiriau a thonnau sydd wedi bodoli ers canrifoedd.
Ar Ddydd Sadwrn, 18 Tachwedd am 11.00 o’r gloch fe fydd trac2, Diwylliant Byw3 a Chyngor Sir Caerfyrddin yn cynnig gweithdy un diwrnod ar ganu plygain yn Festri Capel Heol Awst, Heol Awst, Caerfyrddin. (Codir tal o £5.00)
Fe fydd Dr Rhinannon Ifans4 yn arwain y gweithdy. Mae Rhiannon yn awdurdod ar arferion gwerin megis y Plygain a’r Fari Lwyd ac mae hefyd yn aelod o Driawd y Penrhyn, sef triawd Plygain adnabyddus o Ganolbarth Cymru.
Nid i ddynion yn unig!
Yn draddodiadol dynion sydd wedi bod yn rhan o bartion Plygain ond mae menywod wedi bod yn rhan o’r Plygain yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf. Mae’r gweithdy yn agored i bawb sydd a diddordeb yn y Plygain.
Nid i siaradwyr Cymraeg yn unig!
Fe fydd gwasanaeth cyfieithu yn cael ei ddarparu felly fe all pawb sy’n medru canu yn y Gymraeg gyfle i fwynhau’r gweithdy
Gyda dathliadau traddodiadol ar gynnydd yng Nghymru, mae hwn yn gyfle gwych i
Plygain for Beginners
Submitted by Dafydd on Sat, 2006-11-11 14:37. EventsThey’re old, they’re powerful, and they’re ours for the learning. Plygain1 carols are an important part of the Welsh Christmas experience, with words and tunes that are centuries old.
On Saturday, 18 November at 11.00 a.m., trac2, Diwylliant Byw3 and Carmarthenshire County Council will be offering a one-day workshop in Plygain singing in the Capel Heol Awst vestry, Lammas Street, Carmarthen. (Admission £5.00)
Dr Rhiannon Ifans4 will be leading the workshop team. Rhiannon is not only one of Wales’ authorities on folk customs – including Plygain and the Mari Lwyd – but is also member of Triawd y Penrhyn a well-known mid Wales Plygain trio.
Not just for men!
Although the Plygain party is traditionally an all-male pursuit, women have been making their mark in recent decades and this workshop will be for everyone with an interest!
And not just for Welsh-speakers!
Translation facilities will be provided so anyone who can sing in Welsh will be able to enjoy the workshop.
