Par SPARKE PHILIP. 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.

A moving ballad in the Carl Strommen tradition. A memorable melody and a well-crafted text makes this a strong selection for any choir. Ideal for garduation and end-of-year concerts: ''Til we meet again, wherever we go, stand as one through the years with one voice and one heart.' SAB voicing is great for choirs with a limited number of men. / Choeur SAB

Although often regarded as quintessentially English in style, Elgar's music is undeniably deeply rooted in the German Romantic tradition.
