Lullabies, legends and country dances mix with genteel drawing room music on this album of folk music from the land of sheep and green hills. Harp, voices, dulcimer and oboe bring a richness of sound to ancient songs with origins lost in the mists of time, in largely instrumental versions of many Welsh folk songs.
