This is an ancient Welsh air that was first published in Relics of the Welsh Bards in 1794. Dafydd (David) Owain was a famous Welsh bard who lived on a farm called Gareg Wen (The White Rock) in Eifionydd Carnarnvonshire North Wales. Tradition has it that on his deathbed he called for his harp and composed this lovely melody requesting that it be played at his funeral. Accordingly it was later played at the parish church of Ynys-Cynhaiarn. Lyrics were later added by Ceiriog Hughes which describe the melody's inspiration. This version for brass band retains all the beauty and simplicity of the original.

Sitting behind his desk in his new office David Well thought : 'Well Done! After weeks of slogging he had his old office despite everything turned into a nice room. A lot of daylight fresh colors and a beautiful view of the rural setting. And you can hear it. Well Done!: light cheerful and excited in a pop / rock style with an slight hint of blues.

David Well composed 'Frida's Whiskers' in commemoration of his own cat who met an untimely end. Frida (whose real name was 'Godefrida van Coopersburg thoe Nieuwenhuys') was a lively creature who led a playful and uncomplicated life. She used to sleep in her basket for hours but when she woke up she upset the entire house and its furnishing. Curtains were inspected from top to bottom and flower pots fell from window-sills just like that! Outside in the open air she was in her element. She used to frolic bouncing into the air. After such playful moods she would return to her basket tired but satisfied where being the cleanly cat that shewas she subjected her entire body whiskers included to a thorough wash.

Yo-ho It's Christmas Time' could be just a cry from the mouth of Santa Claus. David Well used this as the title for this three-part composition. First the very familiar 'Jingle Bells' in a relaxed style followed by the sensitive Negro spiritual 'Mary Had a Baby.'. Finally hear 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas.'

David Well composed ?X-mas for Three? for three young pupils of his who wished to give a Christmas concert. He arranged six well-known Christmas songs for them and their first performance was a great success. This was reason for the composer to adapt the piece for ?orchestra? by adding percussion. The title has stayed the same and the work can still be played by as few as three musicians but as the saying goes: ?The more the merrier?! ?X-mas for Three? consists of the following parts : 1. Oh du fröhliche 2. Kling Glöckchen kling 3. Gloria in excelsis deo 4. Joy to the world! 5. The first Noel 6. We wish you a MerryChristmas
