Rachie
''Rachie'', frequently sung to the hymn ''I Bob Un Sydd Ffyddlon'', is a Welsh hymn tune. The music was composed by Caradog Roberts, with lyrics by Henry Lloyd, who is better known by his Bard name Ap Hefin.
The lyrics are a call to battle, as can be seen with the English translation. The hymn is still a popular choice at Welsh rugby matches.
== Composer ==
The composer of the hymn tune was Dr Caradog Roberts〔Caradog Roberts: http://yba.llgc.org.uk/en/s-ROBE-CAR-1878.html〕 (born in Rhosllanerchrugog in North Wales; 1878-1935) and the tune was named after Rachel Williams (married name Rachel Jenkins) of Resolven, South Wales. "Rachie" was composed in the first world war, and Roberts says that "''The committee of the Resolven Music Festival requested me to write a new tune for the festival. I went at it straight away and wrote two tunes the same morning. I rejected tune No.1 and sent No.2. The following year the same committee sent me a similar request for a new tune and said how much they had enjoyed the tune I had sent them the previous year... I was extremely busy then and had no time to compose, so I looked up some old mss. () of mine and found "Rachie", the tune I had rejected the previous year. I sent it simply to oblige the friends at Resolven. "Rachie", notwithstanding the fact that it had been turned down by me, turned out to be the most popular of my tunes. It is named after the daughter - then a child - of the pastor of the Congregational Church at Resolven and is pronounced ‘Ray-chee’, which is short for ‘Rachel’.''"
