Talk:Hyfrydol

I have added a reference for this hymn. Does anyone else have another? Also, could someone who can do IPA please add the pronunciation (HUV-ruh-doll or the anglicised HIV-ruh-doll, but, please, not HY-fruh-doll).Rockhopper10r 21:10, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

My great-great grandfather wrote this hymn! He would be most happy to see that the given harmonization is DIATONIC, avoiding unnecessary chromatics. Although, as a composer, I enjoy extensive chromaticism, I am certain that Rowland would appreciate the simpicity of the given harmonization. The fact that he worked so successfully within a hexatonic scale, has resulted in this hymn-tune often being regarded as one of the finest ever composed! -Fredrick Pritchard (Prichard) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.158.49.164 (talk) 12:32, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Meaning? Cheerful or lovely?

The current version suggests that 'Hyfrydol' means "cheerful". Could this be checked? I have a recollection of seeing various programme notes at various concerts (that included RVW's prelude on the tune) indicating that it means "lovely". Feline Hymnic (talk) 19:15, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
