Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau

The national anthem of Wales, known as "Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau" (Land of My Fathers), is typically performed in the key of G major. Composed by James James and lyrics by his father Evan James, it was officially adopted as the Welsh national anthem in 1959. An interesting fact is that "Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau" is often sung at sporting events and cultural gatherings as a symbol of Welsh pride and identity. The melody features stirring brass arrangements and powerful vocal harmonies, capturing the spirit of patriotism and resilience cherished by the Welsh people.
