A native of Wales, Julian Rees offers this unique collection of 31 Welsh melodies arranged for beginning to intermediate mandolinists. Taken from Edward Jones' seminal 1784 Musical and Poetical Relicks of the Welsh Bards, these settings cover a diverse range of spirited and soulful songs to expand and enrich your Celtic music repertoire. Marches, folk dances, hymns, and carols are presented here in standard notation and tablature together with suggested accompaniment chords.

To facilitate learning by playing along, this publication includes access to online audio recordings of every piece. Then, in a special bicultural touch, each title is pronounced in its native language before counting off in Welsh and English.
