The 2026 Welsh National Eisteddfod has just launched its Medal y Cyfansoddwr (Composer's Medal).
Pathway
The initiative offers a pathway run by Eisteddfod Genedlaethol, Ty Cerdd and the Welsh Music Guild to a trio of music creators for a paid opportunity to write two short choral pieces both setting text by Waldo Williams.
Williams is regarded as one of Wales's most celebrated poets of the 20th Century — and a son of the Garreg Las, the home of the 2026 Eisteddfod. The works are for SATB and one for youth/children's choir.
