"Lady Owen's Delight", in Welsh "Dvyrwch Arlwyddes Owain" is a Welsh air in G Major.<br> The parts are played AAB.<br> Groves, in the 1911 edition of his Welsh Music says that the first Welsh publications<br> of the melody appear in the works of Blind Parry, where it is included in his first<br> collection of twenty-four 'Arias' (an un-named publication), and in Twelve Airs for One and<br> Two Guitars (c. 1760-65, where the tune appears without a name). A later edition of the<br> latter work (1781) gives the title as "Difyswch Arglwyddes Owne's".<br> The tune here is probably late eighteenth century, a harper's air which survived as a<br> tune for songs. <br> It was also printed in Bingley's North Wales...delineated from two excursions, vol. 2 (1804)<br> and Williamson's English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish Fiddle Tunes (1976).<br>
