10 Welsh Melodies Paul G Young

Scroll below for a video of several of the Welsh melodies as played in Finale. This is a collection of 10 duets of well-known, beloved Welsh folk tunes, lullabies, and hymns that are in the public domain. They are arranged as duets for soprano and tenor recorder. The tunes are arranged mostly in common time signatures, comfortable key signatures (mostly F and G major), and accessible ranges with moderately difficult rhythms. This is a valuable collection of familiar melodies, appropriate for varied performances in school, church, civic, and more by performers of all ages and abilities. The duets could also be performed by or with other C instruments in treble clef, such as flute, oboe, and violin. The volume includes the following titles in Welsh: Ar Hyd y Nos (All Through the Night); Arfon (See How Great a Flame Aspires); Blaenwern (Love Divine, All Loves Excelling); Calon Lan (A Pure Heart); Dinogad's Smock (Pais Dinogad); Gwahoddiad (I Am Coming, Lord); Hyfrydol (God the Spirit, Guide, and Guardian or Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus); Llangloffan (Rejoice! Rejoice Believers); Myfanwy (But One Last Time, to Say Farewell); Suo Gan (lullaby). This volume will be a welcome addition to those works that constitute the Recorder Collection by this arranger. Audiences that are familiar with and appreciate Welsh music and its heritage will love them!
