'''MORVA RHUDDLAN''' (The Marsh of Rhuddlan). AKA - "Morfa Rhiddlan." Welsh, Air. D Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Claims have been made for an eighth-century date for this tune, without any solid evidence; this is in keeping with quite extravagant attributions of age to many Welsh melodies. Walker (1924) names it as one of the Welsh tunes "marked by artistic strength of a high order," while Frank Kidson ('''Groves''') says it is a "fine melody."
