From early medieval bards to the bands of the 'Cool Cymru' era,
this book looks at Welsh musical practices and traditions, the
forces that have influenced and directed them, and the ways in
which the idea of Wales as a 'musical nation' has been formed and
embedded in popular consciousness in Wales and beyond. Beginning
with early medieval descriptions of musical life in Wales, the book
provides both an overarching study of Welsh music history and
detailed consideration of the ideas, beliefs, practices and
institutions that shaped it. Topics include the eisteddfod, the
church and the chapel, the influence of the Welsh language and
Welsh cultural traditions, the scholarship of the Celtic Revival
and the folk song movement, the impacts of industrialization and
digitization, and exposure to broader trends in popular culture,
including commercial popular music and sport.
