Ynglŷn y Côr
Mae Côr Cadeirlan Deiniol Sant ym Mangor yn un o’r sefydliad corawl hynaf sydd wedi’i brofi yn y byd: mae cadeirlan wedi bod ar y safle hwn ers bron i 1500 o flynyddoedd a chôr oddi o’r 14th canrif o leiaf, pan gafodd y côr a’r organ eu crybwyll mewn cerddi gan feirdd cyfoes.
Mae’r côr presennol yn cyfansoddi o dri grŵp: côr plant; ensemble proffesiynol o Ysgolheigion Cân a Chlercod Lleyg; a gwirfoddolwyr mewn oed sy’n ymuno â’r côr ar y Sul ac ar gyfer wasanaethau mwy eraill. Mae’r côr yn canu tri gwasanaeth bob dydd Sul: Cymun Bendigaid ar Gân sydd i gyd yng Nghymraeg (y gwasanaeth unig o’r fath yn y byd); Cymun Bendigaid ar Gân yn Saesneg; a Gosber ar Gân. Yn ystod yr wythnos, cynigir Gosber ar Gân ar ddyddiau Llun (plant a lleisiau isaf), ar ddyddiau Mawrth (lleisiau uchaf), ac ar ddyddiau Iau. Mae yna’r cyfle hefyd yn canu yn y Cymun Bendigaid amser cinio ar ddyddiau Mercher, pan berfformiwn siant Regoraidd a cherddoriaeth gynnar arall, ac yn ein Cwmplin yn hwyr nos, sy’n wasanaeth mwy arbrofol sy’n defnyddio cerddoriaeth mewn llawer steil gwahanol.
Mae Ysgoloriaethau Cân yn ar gael i rywun rhwng 16 - 26 oed sy’n mewn addysg llawn amser. Mae llawer o’n Hysgolheigion yn fyfyrwyr ym Mhrifysgol Bangor, a chynhaliwn gysylltiad clos gyda’r Adran Cerddoriaeth yna, ond hefyd mae gennym ysgolheigion o ysgolion a cholegau lleol.

About the Choir
The choir of St Deiniol’s Cathedral in Bangor is one of the oldest attested choral foundations in the world: there has been a cathedral on this site for nearly 1500 years and a choir since at least the 14th century, when both the choir and organ where mentioned in poems by contemporary bards.
The current choir is made up of three groups: a children’s choir; a professional ensemble of Choral Scholars and Lay Clerks; and additional adult volunteers who join the choir for Sundays and other larger services. The choir sings three services each Sunday: a Welsh-language Choral Eucharist (the only such service in the world); an English-language Choral Eucharist; and Choral Evensong. During the week, Choral Evensong is offered on Mondays (children and lower voices), Tuesday (upper voices) and Thursdays. There is also the opportunity to sing at the lunchtime Eucharist on Wednesdays, where we perform Gregorian Chant and other ‘early music’.
Choral Scholarships are available to anyone aged between 16 and 26 who is in full-time education. Many of our scholars are students at Bangor University, and we maintain a close relationship with the Music Department there, but we also have scholars from local schools and colleges.
