Tros Y Garreg by Gerard Cousins

You can download the sheet music for a fair price of your choosing from: This recording is taken from the album ’Hiraeth - Celtic Guitar Music from Wales’ The traditional Welsh song ’Tros y Garreg’ tells the story of a warrior returning home after battle. ’Crossing the Stone’ of home he imagines all of the memories the old stone carries from centuries of war and love. In this arrangement I’ve tried to capture the conflicting moods this warrior must have felt. The happiness of returning home safely contrasted with his melancholy as many friends must have been slain; the optimism for the future and the horrors of the past.
