David of the White Rock (or Dafydd y Gareg Wen) is one of the most famous of all Welsh airs. It is a hauntingly beautiful piece that is believed to have been written by the rather short lived David Owens (1712-1741).

David of the White Rock was first published in Relics of the Welsh Bards in 1794. Dafydd (David) Owain was a famous Welsh bard who lived on a farm called Gareg Wen (The White Rock) in Eifionydd, Carnarnvonshire, North Wales.

Tradition has it that on his deathbed he called for his harp and composed this lovely melody, requesting that it be played at his funeral. Accordingly, it was later played at the parish church of Ynys-Cynhaiarn. Lyrics for David of the White Rock were later added by Ceiriog Hughes, which describe the melody’s inspiration. Below you will find the sheet music for the hauntibly beatiful David of the White Rock.
