“Flowing” and “rich” describe this handbell tree arrangement. It takes the Welsh tune AR HYD Y NOS, known to many as All Through the Night or Go, My Children, With My Blessing, and letting it shine out on both the piano and handbell parts. The piano accompaniment adds depth but does not overpower the bells. This arrangement fills the room with a musical blessing.
“Ar Hyd Y Nos” translates directly from Welsh to the English “All Through the Night.” The tune was first recorded in 1784. The commonly known Welsh lyrics originated with John Ceiriog Hughes (1832-1887).
