A
short choral nocturne for
SATB and organ, Pan
ddaw ust y nos is a
setting of a poem by
Nesta Wyn Jones. Welsh
speakers will respond to
the subtle imagery and
verbal nuance of the
poet's wordplay, as well
as to the intense lyric
moment of charged
reminiscence captured
both in her evocation of
bygone summer evenings
and in Rhian Samuel's
simple, evocative music.
Pan ddaw ust y
nos was written for
the London Welsh Chorale,
conductor Kenneth Bowen,
was premiered at St
David's Cathedral, West
Wales, on 24 September
2005. An English
translation by the
composer is also
included.
