CADWGAN DELYNOR (fl. at end of 14th century, and beginning of the 15th century), musician

The following airs are attributed to him: ' Owiai Gywydd ' (' The Warbler's Ode '), ' Gas gan Grythor ' (' The Fiddler's Dislike '), ' Crechwen Feinir ' (' The Maiden's Laughter '), ' Llonen Hafar ' (' The Merry Slattern '), ' Awen Wrli ' (' The Reeling Muse '), ' Awen Oleuddydd ' (' The Daylight Muse '), ' Oerloes Goeden ' (' The Sapling '), ' Cog Wenllian ' (' Gwenllian's Cuckoo ').

It should be explained that some of the English titles are those given to the airs in much later times, and not literal translations of the Welsh.
