Showreel for Award-Winning Soprano, ELLEN WILLIAMS

Hi everyone, For those who may not know me or are new here I thought I’d introduce myself a little! Hopefully I convince you to stick around, and look forward to sharing new music with you very soon! ☺️✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m a classical singer from Wales, I grew up singing the hymns and arias and folk songs of Wales, and after being given Hayley Westenra’s album as a Christmas present one year as a child, set a goal to pursue a career in singing! I studied opera and sang many lead roles, but when the pandemic hit and performances were put on pause, returned to a life-long love of film music, and that’s where I find myself today… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My EP “Cinema”, which includes new epic classical arrangements of Now We Are Free from Gladiator, the James Bond theme No Time To Die, as well as songs from Lord Of The Rings and Cinema Paradiso, has been streamed and shipped across the world with millions of video views and hundreds of thousands of plays. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After that I was excited to release a Christmas album full of festive favourites and one or two lesser-known gems called “A Christmas Wish”, and of course my latest album “INSPIRE” packed with beautiful hymns and inspirational sporting anthems! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m excited to say there’ll be new music on the way very soon, and I can’t wait to share it with you! ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #classicalsinger #epicclassical #classicalcrossover #filmmusic #soprano

Calon lân yn llawn daioni, Tecach yw na'r lili dlos Dim ond calon lân all ganu Canu'r dydd a chanu'r nos. Pe dymunwn olud bydol, Chwim adennydd iddo sydd, Golud calon lân, rinweddol, Yn dwyn bythol elw fydd. Calon lân yn llawn daioni, Tecach yw na'r lili dlos Dim ond calon lân all ganu Canu'r dydd a chanu'r nos. Hwyr a bore fy nymuniad Esgyn ar adennydd cân Ar I Dduw, er mwyn fy Ngheidwad, Roddi i mi galon lân. Calon lân yn llawn daioni, Tecach yw na'r lili dlos Dim ond calon lân all ganu Canu'r dydd a chanu'r nos. English translation from FelinFach: I don't ask for a luxurious life the world's gold or its fine pearls, I ask for a happy heart, an honest heart, a pure heart. A pure heart full of goodness Is fairer than the pretty lily, None but a pure heart can sing, Sing in the day and sing in the night. If I wished for worldly wealth, It would swiftly go to seed; The riches of a virtuous, pure heart Will bear eternal profit. (Chorus) Evening and morning, my wish Rising to heaven on the wing of song For God, for the sake of my Saviour, To give me a pure heart. Spanish translation sung in Patagonia: Yo no pido vida ociosa, Perlas ni un galardón: Pido un corazón alegre, Un honesto corazón. Calon lân yn llawn daioni, Tecach yw na'r lili dlos: Dim ond calon lân all ganu Canu'r dydd a chanu'r nos. Si quisiera la riqueza, Pronto pierde su valor; Más un corazón bien limpio, Cada día es mejor. (Chorus) Mi plegaria día y noche, La elevo al Señor, Solo pido al Dios clemente, Un honesto corazón. (Chorus)
