Until the 17th century a bard would compose a poem knowing it was going to be sung. Poetry was called music of the tongue and string music was called music of the string ("Cerdd Dant").[1] The Welsh word "cerdd" can mean either poetry or music. When bardic music died out, the knowledge of how the music was set also died out.[2][3]
