Do You Hear The People Sing is the title of an excellent book by Prof. Gareth Williams detailing the history of the Male Voice Choirs of Wales. Gareth traces the origins and growth of male voice choral singing in Wales from the 19th century to the present day, using the Eisteddfod as a lens through which to view its development. Uniquely, it records the winners of every male choral competition at the 'National' in an unbroken sequence since 1881, along with the stern and sometimes caustic remarks of adjudicators. This is the biography of a famous tradition, a story about Wales, its people and its culture.
The book is available on line from Amazon HERE or from other book stores.
