It is a market town that still has a medieval feel to
it, and is steeped in a very mixed history. Llandovery
is an ancient market town situated on the west bank of the upper reaches of
the river Towy. The name itself is an anglicised form of the welsh,
Llanymddyfri, which means ‘Church amongst the Waters’. The town is, indeed,
surrounded by rivers: the Towy to the north; the Bran and Gwydderig to the
east and the Bawddwr which runs under the town but in the early 19th Century
was an open sewer, hence Bawddwr, ‘dirty water’. Furthermore, the inhabitants
of the town who were born in the town, are called’cyw bawddwr’, a ‘Bawddwr
chick ‘. It is for those wishing
to live the two weeks immersed in the rhythm of singing and music in the
serene landscape of Llandovery College One
may participate in the choir with William Godfree and in one to one sessions
with one of the voice tutors. choir programme 2009 Britten: Hymn to the Virgin Fauré: Cantique de Jean Racine William Godfree: Requiem Parry: Songs of Farewell Rutter: For the Beauty of the Earth SATB version) Stanford: The Bluebird
