These pages are designed to accompany the publication of the album:
Music from the Robert ap Huw Manuscript Volume I.
The pages are still under construction. For the moment, they contain a brief introduction to the manuscript and a comprehensive section on the interpretation of the tablature written by Paul Whittaker, who has been researching the tablature of the Robert ap Huw manuscript since 1970, and is currently writing a book covering all aspects of its interpretation. Added to this is an article by Peter Greenhill entitled
The forgotten, silver-voiced harp of Wales
