PRE-ORDER: Releasing 30th January 2026

All the Hours We Saw and other works brings together vocal and instrumental works written across the composer’s career.

The album takes in five significant works from Gareth Glyn’s output, two of which set texts by prominent Welsh poet and novelist T Glynne Davies, Glyn’s own father – the centenary of whose birth is also marked in 2026.

The album's central work is the song cycle Yr Oriau Oll a Welsom (All the Hours We Saw), setting T Glynne Davies’s poetry, and performed by prominent baritone Steffan Lloyd Owen, alongside beloved Welsh pianist Annette Bryn Parri, shortly before her death in 2025.

_____

Mae Yr Oriau Oll a Welsom a gweithiau eraill yn dwyn ynghyd weithiau lleisiol ac offerynnol a gyfansoddwyd yn ystod holl yrfa’r cyfansoddwr.

Mae’r albwm yn cynnwys pum gwaith o bwys gan Gareth Glyn, dau ohonynt wedi’u gosod i waith y bardd a’r nofelydd enwog T Glynne Davies, sef tad Gareth Glyn ei hun – ac yn digwydd bod mae 2026 hefyd yn nodi canmlwyddiant ei enedigaeth yntau.

Gwaith canolog yr albwm yw’r cylch caneuon Yr Oriau Oll a Welsom, wedi’i osod i farddoniaeth T Glynne Davies. Caiff ei berfformio gan y bariton o fri Steffan Lloyd Owen ochr yn ochr â’r bianyddes ddisglair Annette Bryn Parri, ychydig cyn ei marwolaeth yn 2025.
