Pedair, Dadeni

'Dadeni' (Renaissance), displays Pedair's unique gifts as Welsh folk song-tellers and their deftness as songwriters. The album takes us on an emotional journey from the dark depths of the soul to the joy of riding the crest of the wave, from darkness to light, from yesterday to today and onwards to every tomorrow.  

The album features new songs by Gwenan Gibbard, who is making a name for herself as a composer of original songs; 'Y Môr' (The Sea) and 'Rho dy Alaw' (Give me your melody) are two poignant and hopeful songs about finding strength and happiness again in the midst of life's challenges. The contemplative quietness of Meinir Gwilym's 'Machlud a Gwawr' (Sunset and dawn) is a striking contrast to her anthem 'Dos â Hi Adra' (Take her home), driven by Osian Huw Williams' drumming and Aled Wyn Hughes' (Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog) bass playing. Aled also co-produced the album, together with Pedair. Pedair are joined by three other musicians - Gwilym Bowen Rhys (mandolin), Patrick Rimes (fiddle and viola) and Gwern ap Gwyn (bass) - all three adding a new subtle layer, complementing the folk roots sound which is so central to the group's identity. 'O Blwy' Llanrwst' (From the parish of Llanrwst) is a melancholic arrangement, by Siân, of a nostalgic song from the collection of Lady Ruth Herbert Lewis of Welsh folk songs. Siân and Gwyneth co-wrote 'Golomen Wen' (White Dove), a timely song which expresses our deep yearning for peace.  

It is an honour for Pedair to include their arrangement of 'Dŵr, Halen a Thân' (Water, salt and fire) - composed by Dewi 'Pws' Morris, a friend and a bright star. Grief and loss is a recurrent theme in this album and reaches a climax in the powerful final track, 'Cerrig Mân' (Little stones), composed by Gwyneth Glyn. But dawn follows every sunset and that continuous circle reminds us that we need to embrace every new morning and realize that the good days are here, right now.

Mae ‘Dadeni’ yn arddangos cryfderau’r pedair fel chwedl-ganwyr y traddodiad gwerin tra ar yr un pryd yn amlygu eu doniau fel cantorion-gyfansoddwyr. Awn ar daith, o gân i gân, o ddyfnderoedd tywyll yr enaid i lawenydd brig y don, o’r tywyllwch i’r goleuni, o ddoe ymlaen at heddiw ac yfory.

Cawn gyfle i fwynhau caneuon gwreiddiol gan Gwenan Gibbard, sy'n prysur fagu hyder fel cyfansoddwraig; mae 'Y Môr' a 'Rho dy Alaw' yn ddwy gân ddirdynnol, llawn gobaith, am ganfod nerth a llawenydd yng nghanol heriau bywyd. Mae tawelwch myfyrgar 'Machlud a Gwawr' Meinir Gwilym yn wrthbwynt trawiadol i'w hanthem gignoeth 'Dos â Hi Adra', sy'n cael ei gyrru gan ddrymio medrus Osian Huw Williams a gitâr fas Aled Wyn Hughes (Cowbois) - a gynhyrchodd yr albym ar y cŷd â Pedair. Tri cherddor arall sy'n ymddangos ar y casgliad ydi Gwilym Bowen Rhys, Patrick Rimes a Gwern ap Gwyn, ill tri yn ychwanegu haenau newydd i sain y grŵp, sy'n parhau i fod â'i wreiddiau yn y traddodiad gwerin. Cawn drefniant unigryw Siân James o gân allan o gasgliad Y Fonesig Ruth Herbert Lewis - 'O Blwy' Llanrwst'. Cyd-ysgrifennodd Siân a Gwyneth Glyn 'Golomen Wen', cân amserol ond oesol sy'n dyheu am i ni bobol y byd ddysgu cyd-fyw yn heddychlon â'n gilydd.

Anrhydedd arbennig ydi cael cynnwys fersiwn o 'Dŵr, Halen a Thân' - cân sydd mor enigmatig ac unigryw â'r athrylith â'i cyfansoddodd hi - sef yr annwyl Dewi 'Pws' Morris. Mae'r thema o golled a galar yn gwau drwy'r casgliad hwn, ac yn cyrraedd penllanw yn y trac clo grymus 'Cerrig Mân' a gyfansoddwyd gan Gwyneth Glyn. Ond mae gwawr yn dilyn pob machlud, ac mae'r cylchdro hwnnw yn ein hatgoffa fod rhaid gwerthfawrogi pob diwrnod newydd a ddaw i'n rhan, a sylweddoli mai 'Rŵan Hyn' mae'r dyddiau da.
