a) A monologue from a Welsh language drama, book, or an original script

OR

b) Song - a Welsh language pop song, folk song or song from a musical. No more than 3 minutes including time to set up and clear the stage.

Competition 10: Yr.6 & under Choir Amser Gwely - Robat Arwyn

The last words on p.37 are slightly different to those in the music - the music copy is the correct one.

Also, the performance on the CD has an incorrect note in the chorus. Stick to the notes of the copy on the words 'Cadw pob un' (bar 18) which are  Eb C Bb C  and not natural B (like on the CD).

Competition 21: Solo 19-25 Fy Serenâd ('La Serenata') - Paulo Tosti

Francesco Paulo Tosti: 30 Songs (High Voice) - HL50484320

It appears that there is a mistake in the copy for the highest voice.

Page 88, the final bar of the 4th stave: ‘E a’ ‘baci mieri’ A is the 1st note in the bar, rather than F.
