Herbert, T. (2000) Popular nationalism: Griffith Rhys Jones ('Caradog') and the Welsh choral tradition. In: Music and British Culture, 1785-1914: Essays in Honor of Cyril Ehrlich. Oxford University Press, Oxford, pp. 255-274. ISBN 9780198167303 (hardback)
Abstract
Discusses the stereotype of Wales as 'the land of song' in the context of the influence of the choral conductor Caradog, (Griffith Rhys Jones, 1834-97) and the victories to which he led the Côr Mawr (the Great Choir) at the Crystal Palace contests in Sydenham (South London) in 1872 and 1873. The hypothesis that music, and choralism in particular, became by popular consensus one of the principle media through which the Welsh projected national identity is probed.
