Love Changes Everything is on The very Best of the Treorchy Male Voice Choir, available from Amazon at a knock down price.

Think I'll browse the list again and treat myself to something...

S

Ooh Ann, If I Loved you is 'our' song!

Whenever I think or Treorchy I think of Max Boyce. Loved his broadcasts.

Glos

Here is their site...

Ann welsh male voice choirs sing from the heart
brings a tear to my eyes too
Jenxx

oh - Pendyrus have recorded "If I loved you" from Carousel - another lovely song

surely Myfanwy must be one to choose!!!

Treorchy isn't mentioned in my house as OH was a life member with Pendyrus and there is healthy rivalry between the two!!!

Pendyrus sang at my son's wedding and one of the songs was Myfanwy!! went down really well I can tell you

Sadly I can no longer listen to Welsh choirs without bursting into tears - one day maybe!!!

Have a look at this site on youtube and play and choose...

Son and DiL had Calon Lan as one of their hymns
at their wedding even non welsh speakers knew the words
Its sounded beautiful

Love treochy, my Nan lived in glynnrhonnda Street and her family buried in the graveyard there, heard the singers once but will go again as got family up and down the valley.If you ever there, the Cardiff Arms public house has great food. I miss it now. Jay all the way in Kent.X

Nid wy'n gofyn bywyd moethus,
Aur y byd na'i berlau mân:
Gofyn wyf am galon hapus,
Calon onest, calon lân.

Cytgan:
Calon lân yn llawn daioni,
Tecach yw na'r lili dlos:
Dim ond calon lân all ganu-
Canu'r dydd a chanu'r nos.

Pe dymunwn olud bydol,
Hedyn buan ganddo sydd;
Golud calon lân, rinweddol,
Yn dwyn bythol elw fydd.

Hwyr a bore fy nymuniad
Gwyd i'r nef ar edyn cân
Ar i Dduw, er mwyn fy Ngheidwad,
Roddi i mi galon lân.

don't ask for a luxurious life,
the world's gold or its fine pearls:
I ask for a happy heart,
an honest heart, a pure heart.

Chorus:
A pure heart is full of goodness,
More lovely than the pretty lily:
Only a pure heart can sing -
Sing day and night.

If I wished worldly wealth,
He has a swift seed;
The riches of a virtuous, pure heart,
Will be a perpetual profit.

Late and early, my wish
Rise to heavan on the wing of song,
To God, for the sake of my Saviour,
Give me a pure heart.

Calon Lan Jac? My favourite - I have already told OH they will have to sing it at my funeral - in Welsh and not taking it too fast!

The Treorchy have recorded all sorts of stuff - show tunes and all sorts, not just the hymns, so I'm sure you'll find something.

S

Caron Llad - it's absolutely beautiful (I might have an incorrect spelling) but trust me.............it'll have you crying into your bouquet!

Taff I can't get that to work, probably having a blonde moment will you check it for me please...xx

Ann..cwm Rhondda is one on our list..
Maisie.. love changes everything also on the list

and
Blaenwrn
Cymru Fach
How to handle a woman
We'll keep a welcome in the hillside

Oh loves Men of Harlech but as it's a war song, and they're fighting the saxons.

I'm carefully checking all the words, don't want to embarass myself,
I don't mind Welsh (obviously) again just need to check words.

Thanks I'll go listen to those..xx

Blue Eyes: If they have recorded this song why not choose "Love Changes Everything"
Maisie

Cwm Rhonda?

Guide me Oh thou Great redeemer (or sometimes it id Jehova).

Hi Gwyn, a couple in church after the signing of the registrar are the ones we're tussling with.
We're going to play a cd.

Is this in church or reception, .... For a choir or congregation.

In English I guess?

Gwyn

OH was born in Treorchy and I swear half of Wales is related to him, so we decided we're going to have a song/s by them as part of our wedding ceremony.

What song of theirs would you like to recommend??
