TeitlLetter from Mabel Dolmetsch, Jesses, Haslemere, Surrey to Ifor Williams
DisgrifiadWhilst playing some Bardic Music on the harp she mentioned to Surya Sena that she knew an old Irish piece that was akin to the Welsh marwnad. He said that death songs in Ceylon are called "marwnadi".
A previous visit by Surya Sena identified the Bragawd Gywair as an Indian Scale.
The form and scheme of Bardic Music is similar to that of the Folk Music of Ceylon.
