I’d love to be involved. I used to sing in choirs quite regularly as a soprano if that helps?
I’d love to be a part of this. Sing bass in choir and in barbershop chorus.
I’d like to join too, bass.
Anyone can sing the tune - male or female. Please do your best to sing exactly what I am singing. Either sing in the same pitch as me or take it down an octave to suit your voice. Please let me know if my voice is too quiet or too loud for you. Please use this track to record the main tune whether your a male or female voice.
These are the recording tracks for alto voices. I’ve done verse 1 and 2 separately so you don’t have a long gap. So you will need to record both verses separately and send them two me as separate files.
This is the music. The rhythm looks complicated but it’s basically just being aware of places where the tune is slightly syncopated/ahead of the beat.
Hi Ceri
Would love to have a go, used to sing soprano but have never sung in Welsh!
Natalie
There is a first time for everything! Go for it and have fun @nataliesanders!
Slightly embarassingly for me, I think I may have reason to hold back a bit for now. @ceri-francis probably has an idea why. As soon as I can I’ll sing, record, etc… I’m still planning to give in and sleep this afternoon, but I am noting what is being posted about how…
Natalie, I hope you know that if you have any personal messages you can direct message people and just ask… no worries, whatever helps!
Dyma… hm! well, I gotta say, “cariad” rili!
Welcome aboard! With you while you find your sea legs,

It sounds great but no, I won’t spoil this party with my cracking voice which didn’t properly sang from the childhood and especially not in the choir. But I’d answer techy question if I may.
My answer would be, yes, you need two devices. I’ve tried to record just my voice with backing music played on the same device when doing my rap. Unfortunately it didn’t work so I needed my PC to secretly observe my own words and to play the music with headphones on while I’ve recorded audio with my phone (I did video separately though and then syncing it with better audio only quality).
So, yes, the two devices would be needed at least as much as I know and as much as I could experience.
And now have fun! I have no doubt this will be magnificent choir! Hardly wait to hear it.
Hwyl!
Tatjana
Thanks Tatjana. Good to know I wasn’t making that up
I’d love to join in, I haven’t got a great voice, was in school choir many, many moons ago but I’m able to keep in tune when we sing in church! I’ve only just seen the original message so not sure if I’m too late.
Helo, bydde, wrth gwrs!
Could you play the alto part on the piano or send the music ?
If you’re looking for another bass - count me in.
I’d like to have a go. I haven’t sung for years, my voice is rusty. Was an alto in school choir ( 45 years ago!) now verging on tenor.LOL. The techno side of things is going to spook me. But I guess I’ll play the backing on the laptop with headphones and record on my phone. Have you got the words written out and the alto part which I could play on the piano to practice. When do you want the recording by? Do you have an English translation?
Thank you for posting the musical score. Where can I find the words? When I record, am I to use Soundcloud? I’m excited about this project. The song is not familiar to me but the music resembles Calon Lan.
I’d love to join in. I’m a tenor or bass and can read music. Da iawn ti.
I’ve tried to amend my username which reads rather impersonally. Gareth Edwards dw’i’. Diolch.
I’ll play all parts on piano and post them if that is helpful. I’m waiting for someone to sing the bass for me and hopefully the tenor. But I can play them for you. I posted the music somewhere in here. Handwritten so possibly too messy to read
I also need to list the words. Sorry I forgot to do that.
If you’re stuck, I’ll happily sing the bass part for you. I read music, especially if it’s not too syncopated.
(As my granddaughter frequently sings “It’s all about the bass, about the bass …” )
