Ymlaen â'r Gân

Inside the image.

A square album cover combines a photograph of a large choir on a stage with sweeping graphic curves and prominent lettering. The choir fills the lower middle of the image, arranged in several tightly packed rows on tiered risers. The singers appear to be adults and children, wearing a mixture of dark and bright clothing; individual faces and details are small. At the front, several people stand slightly apart from the rows, and a microphone stand rises from the stage near the lower centre. A dark-clad figure stands at the far left of the stage, partly separated from the choir.

The stage floor forms a broad band along the bottom, blue-lit in the foreground and fading to darker tones near the performers. Warm pink, amber and violet light falls across the choir, while the space behind them is nearly black. Bright spotlights and small, out-of-focus coloured lights dot the upper background. Large translucent grey and mauve ribbons or arcs sweep across the cover: they loop along the top and sides, cross behind the lettering, and curl around the lower-right area. The image has no separate border, and the singers and curves run close to the edges.

Across the upper third, the text reads “CÔR IAU Glanaethwy”, with “CÔR IAU” in smaller white capitals and “Glanaethwy” much larger in yellow. Beneath it, in pale pink handwritten script, is “Ymlaen â’r gân”. The lettering sits over the dark lighting and curves, remaining distinct from the choir below. The cover is photographic, with graphic overlays and layered typography; the stage image is slightly soft at this scale, especially around the faces and distant lights.
