The WNAA eHymnal project was created to help those who may not be familiar with Welsh hymns learn to pronounce the
Welsh words and sing their voice parts, and enjoy in full measure the great choral tradition of Welsh four-part singing.
Each hymn in this collection has been broken down and contains a recording of:
the pronunciation of the Welsh hymn verses
the music for each individual voice part (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass)
the music of the hymn tune with all four voices in full harmony
The eHymnal files are meant to accompany the National Gymanfa Ganu Hymnal.
You will want to have a copy of this book at hand as you listen to the eHymnal recordings. (To order a copy click here)
The recordings in the eHymnal are MP3 files, which can be stored and played on your:
desktop computer,  laptop, tablet, smart­phone and portable MP3 players (such as an iPod.)
There are so many variables with each device, if you have questions
email ehymnal@thewnaa.org  we will attempt to assist.

How to use eHymnal files
The Welsh words to the hymns are spoken by Nerys Jones, a native Welsh speaker from Llanfair Caereinion in mid-Wales, to help you learn to read and pronounce them.  She reads them slowly, at the same tempo as the individual voice parts.
Though it may look a bit odd at first glance to the non-Welsh speaker, Welsh is actually much easier to learn to read and pronounce than English because the spelling is regular and almost entirely phonetic.  The Welsh alphabet and the sounds of the letters are given on the last page of the Welsh National Gymanfa Ganu (WNGGA) Hymnal, but the easiest way to learn is to follow along reading the words to the hymn as you listen to them being spoken.
All the music and voice files for a given hymn are contained in a zipped (compressed) folder; see the list of hymns.
The music for each song is in five tracks, one containing the full four-voice choir and one for each of the four voices, soprano, alto, tenor, and bass.
Each verse is spoken in a separate track and, in some hymns with a chorus that is spoken separately as well.
How to Download eHymnl files onto your computer or laptop
Depending on your browser:
Click on the link to bring up a dialog box
Select SAVE and choose a location in your computer to download and save the compressed file.
Unzip the file by either:  double-clicking on a Mac, or right-clicking followed by Extract All on a Windows PC.
The result will be a folder that contains all the MP3 files for that hymn.
Select the file Rachie from the hymn list on this page,
download a compressed file called 001_Rachie.zip to your computer.
When you decompress (unzip) this, you’ll find a folder called “001 Rachie”.
Click on this folder to open it and you’ll find the following eight MP3 files:
001 Rachie satb.mp3               music for all four voice parts (full SATB choir)
001 Rachie sop.mp3                tune for the soprano voice part
001 Rachie alt.mp3                  tune for the alto voice part
001 Rachie ten.mp3                 tune for the tenor voice part
001 Rachie bas.mp3                tune for the bass voice part
001 Rachie verse1.mp3           the words in Welsh for verse 1
001 Rachie verse2.mp3           the words in Welsh for verse 2
001 Rachie chorus.mp3           the words in Welsh for the chorus
(Note: you may or may not see the extension “.mp3” at the end of each filename, depending on the settings in your file management program).
The full choir or SATB track has the voices in full harmony, spread across stereo space with sopranos far left, then the altos, the tenors, and finally the basses far right, played by a synthesized string quartet.
This track is played at normal speed as you might hear it at a cymanfa (though different directors will choose their own tempo, of course).
The other tracks, the four individual voice parts and the spoken words, are at 3/4 speed to make it easier to pick up the tunes and pronunciation of the words.
Play the files by double clicking on:
the default media player on your computer, such as Window Media Player, or another media player.
VLC Media Player (www.videolan.org) is a free player with versions for many platforms: Windows, Apple, Android, Linux, and many more.

Track filenames may not be displayed as shown above but rather the MP3 track data, which will look something like this:
Artist:              Welsh Hymn Practice
Track 1:           001 SATB
Track 2:           001 Soprano
Track 3:           001 Alto

Track 7:           001 Verse 2
Track 8:           001 Chorus
Note: The “Album” name is the number and name of the hymn.  Individual tracks give the hymn number and the contents of the track, and not the  hymn name, as the display on many MP3 players is rather short.
