Welsh Music Studies/Astudiaethau Cerddoriaeth Cymru
(ISBN 0708320813)
"A collection of essays presented as a scholarly bouquet to Meredydd Evans and Phyllis Kinney is warmly to be welcomed. The contribution of these two scholars to Welsh studies over the last fifty years or so has been immeasurable, and the affection which the two invariably elicit is matched only by the scholarly regard in which they are held."
Dr David Wyn Jones, Reader in Music, Cardiff University

Valleys of Song: Music and Society in Wales 1840-1914
(ISBN 0708314805)
'Gareth Williams has written a most entertaining book, erudite but with an eye for telling detail that puts choral singing into a vivid social context.' (Western Mail)
The image of Wales as 'the land of song' is very much a Victorian creation based on the immense popularity and international renown of its choral singing, particularly in the industrial communities of the south. From the mid-nineteenth century to the First World War, the valleys of south Wales were the centre of a vibrant musical culture which embraced not just choirs but orchestras, bands and opera.
