Is any of the original music that went along with the
poems of Taliesin still known?

And has anyone newly set any of the poems of Taliesin
to music, maybe even as part of a musical play?

Given that the poems customarily ascribed to Taliesin date back to the
6th century, I rather doubt it. It's unlikely that they would have been
set to music at that time in any case.

I Googled "poems of Taliesin" and found this one:
http://www.ancienttexts.org/library/celtic/ctexts/t01w.html

Gan iewyd gan elestron.
Ry ganhymdeith achwysson.
Blwydyn yg kaer ofanhon.
Wyf hen wyf newyd. wyf gwion.
Wyf llwyr wyf synwyr keinon.
Dy gofi dyhen vrython.
Gwydyl kyl diuerogyon.
Medut medwon.
Wyf bard ny rifafi eillon.
Wyf syw llyw wyf syw amrysson.
Syhei arahei. arahei nys medei.
Si ffradyr yn y fradri.

and so on.

I tried to fit the words to several songs. None fit perfectly, but
"America the Beautiful", "I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside" and "How
Much Is That Doggie In The Window" can all be made to sort of fit,
"I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" - style.

WHY?
Troubadour's always carried the Poems and Songs of the Hero's forward to
the People!
Read your History and or Legends.
Besides in Ancient Terms, a DRUID is a POET, and the Muses were SINGERS,
and the CRONES, took over DELPHI after the RAPE, to prevent it from
happening to another of the NYMPH who are the DANCERS.
From Ptah, and GIA, came the Children of the Art's!

To get back to your original question, The Song of Taliesin by John
Matthews and Steve Gladwin would be worth looking at. I can't remember
if it actually has music to any of Taliesin's poems, but I think it
likely.

But maybe you already knew of this work, and were looking for other
material.
