Would someone clarify vocal categories?

[HWI]

I don't know the piece, or the composer. But, that voice is unmistakeable. The greatest treble of modern times.

Nicloa aled jones did some classical stuff.

And that voice is indeed Aled Jones. I would know it anywhere.

Hello Gerrit, Keith and everybody!

It certainly sounds like the young Aled Jones to me, but I can't identify the song or the composer. Do I win an empty Mars bar wrapper for recognising the language as Welsh? i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Best Wishes from London,

Hey Richard,

You're right about the language - but the most efficient way for you to get an empty Mars bar wrapper is to go to your local supermarket, buy a filled Mars bar wrapper, consume the contents and there you go - you'll be left with your desired award .

By the way, I think Aled Jones was not a typical choirboy. He was an atypical choir boy, whose voice has made much more impact than a typical choirboy would .

Anyway, here are details about the song, which was indeed performed by Aled! This version of the lyrics does not seem to match the song as it is sung by Aled though. All I could recognise was the first 4 lines - and they were sung as the second verse by Aled.

Tune: LAUSANNE
Words: William Williams
Composer: Caesar Malan

Iesu, Iesu, 'rwyt ti'n ddigon,
'rwyt ti'n llawer mwy na'r byd;
mwy trysorau sy'n dy enw
na thrysorau'r India i gyd:
oll yn gyfan
ddaeth i'm meddiant gyda'm Duw.

Y mae gwedd dy wyneb grasol
yn rhagori llawer iawn
ar bob peth a welodd llygad
ar hyd wyneb daear lawn:
Rhosyn Saron,
ti yw tegwch nef y nef.

Tarian gadarn yw dy enw;
pan fo'r gelyn yn nesau
angau'i hunan sydd yn ofni,
angau sydd yn llwfwrhau;
ti goncweriaist,
ti goncweriaist,
'does ond canu nawr i ni.

Gerrit

Hello again Gerrit!

I'll let you into a little secret. I don't like Mars bars, which is why I only want the wrapper! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

I agree with you that Aled did have a more distinctive voice than other choirboys, but I much prefer his adult voice, which sounds unique.

I still prefer Hayley's voice though! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Bye for now,

Richard
