Description of The Music of Gwydion
Gwydion Pendderwen's music is back again! Serpentine Music, in cooperation with the estate of the late, great Gwydion Pendderwen, has re-issued both of Gwydion's albums, "Songs for the Old Religion" and "The Faerie Shaman" on a new double CD to be released November 23, 2005. The original masters to these albums have long been lost, so for this re-issue they were painstakingly re-created from vinyl records using the best digital transfer technology available. Gwydion was a gifted songwriter and performer, and at the time these albums came out--in 1975 and 1982--they were by far the best examples of Pagan song in existence. Gwydion's tunes are catchy, with great hooks and nice chord progressions, and his finely crafted lyrics are always well-matched to the music. His music is a product of its culture and times: late 70s and early 80s Paganism, heavy on the Celtic themes and folk music instrumentation. But any sense of his music being dated is eminently forgivable simply because it is well-made and heartfelt. It stands on its own as some of the finest Pagan music made to date. This music has continued to be very influential in the resurgence of Pagan culture in the US and beyond. Now may they continue to inspire future generations of bards and poets.Folk CDs
