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 fanfare band retains all the beauty and simplicity of the original.Deze oude melodie uit Wales werd in 1794 voor het eerst uitgegeven in Relics of the Welsh Bards.

De tekst werd later toegevoegd door Ceiriog Hughes en beschrijft de ontstaansgeschiedenis van deze muziek.Dafydd Owain war ein berühmter walisischer Barde, der auf einem Bauernhof namens Gareg Wen, was so viel wie weißer Felsen bedeutet, lebte; daher der Name David vom weißen Felsen“. Es wird erzählt, dass Dafydd auf seinem Sterbebett nach seiner Harfe verlangte und dort diese Melodie komponierte, mit der Bitte, man möge sie zu seiner Beerdigung spielen. Die Schlichtheit dieses bezaubernden Airs eignet sich perfekt als Zwischenspiel in Ihrem Konzert. Dafydd (David) Owain fu un poeta e cantore gallese. Visse a Eifionydd, nella contea del Carnavonshire (nel nord del Galles), in una fattoria chiamata”Gareg wen” (La roccia bianca). Una leggenda narra che, prima di morire,Dafydd Owain chiese che gli venisse portata la sua arpa. Negli ultimi istanti della sua vita avrebbe composto questa deliziosa melodia esigendo che venisse eseguita al suo funerale. Alcuni anni dopo, il poeta John Ceiriog Hughes scrisse un testo riportandosi alla storia che aveva portato alla composizione di questa melodia, divenuta da allora un classico della musica tradizionale gallese.
