In Concert / Mewn Cyngerdd

Inside the image.

The square cover combines a mountain-lake photograph with a large group portrait. Across the lower foreground, several rows of men stand shoulder to shoulder on a pale strip of shore or path, facing the viewer. Most wear black suits with white shirts and dark ties; a few appear to wear lighter jackets. The front row is larger and more distinct, while the closely packed rows behind rise in a shallow arc. The group spans nearly the full width of the image and occupies its lower third, with a narrow margin below their feet.

Behind them, a calm blue-grey lake stretches across the middle distance. Low, dark-green wooded shores border it on both sides, and steep mountain slopes enclose the water. The slopes are green and grey, with patches of exposed rock and lighter ground; a central valley recedes towards distant, hazier peaks. The sky takes up much of the upper portion, pale blue with soft, diffuse clouds. The landscape is brighter and softer in the distance, while the foreground group is dark and sharply contrasted against the light ground and water. The image has no visible border.

Three centred lines of title lettering sit over the sky near the top. The largest reads “Cantorion Colin Jones” in pale lettering with a dark shadow or outline, in a prominent serif style. Beneath it, “The North Wales Male Chorus” appears in smaller blue italic lettering, followed by “Côr Meibion Gogledd Cymru” in a similar, slightly smaller italic line. Near the bottom, below the men, “IN CONCERT - MEWN CYNGHERDD” is set in large white italic capitals with a dark shadow, following a gentle upward curve. The typography overlays the photograph, leaving the mountain scenery visible around and between the lines. The image is photographic in appearance, with no obvious drawn or painted elements.
