The purpose of this research paper has been to understand the medieval and renaissance tablature of Robert ap Huw through a comparison between Paul Dooley’s and William Taylor’s recordings of the piece Kaniad y Gwyn Bibydd from the manuscript. 

My text contains a short history of Robert ap Huw’s manuscript and a description of the medieval Welsh culture, in which the music was born. It is then followed by a musical analysis of the chosen piece. My work has led me to delve deep into different versions of how the tablature could be interpreted and made me understand how vast and complex this subject is.
