An exploration of Waless deep connections to music through one specific style: the hymn.
Even as many in the modern world draw away from organized religion, the great hymns of our time persist: we turn to them at weddings and funerals, at rugby matches, and in pubs.
Bringing together twelve of Waless best-loved hymns from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, Poems from the Soul reveals the heart and soul of a peoples poetry. These are the poems of ordinary folkblacksmiths, farmers, and preachersand they played a vital role in the creation of the Welsh people. Ranging from the visionary intensity of Ann Griffiths to the striking biblical imagery of Waless unofficial national anthem Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer, in every hymn a single, singular voice sings out, loud and strong with fear, hope, ecstasy, or anxiety.
With original illustrations by Ruth Jên Evans throughout, this collection offers insights into the making of a modern nation and demonstrates the transformative power of voices raised in song.
