Soul Music

Fans of Welsh song Myfanwy, which was originally composed and written by Joseph Parry and Richard Davies in the 19th century, explain why the piece elicits an emotional response in them. Contributors include a woman from Wales who now resides in Sicily, the singer Cerys Matthews, an ex-soldier who searched for survivors at the Aberfan mining disaster, and a man whose brother was killed in India. First aired in 2014.
