WALES traditional – Song, ‘All Through the Night’ – CELLO AND PIANO (easy)

Other Identification:
“Ar Hyd y Nos” (English: All Through the Night) is a Welsh song sung to a tune that was first mentioned by Edward Jones in ‘Musical and Poetical Relics of the Welsh Bards’ (1784). The most commonly sung Welsh lyrics were written by John Ceiriog Hughes (1832–1887), and have been translated into several languages including, of course, in English – most famously by Harold Boulton (1859–1935). However, one of the earliest English versions, to different Welsh lyrics by one John Jones, was by Thomas Oliphant in 1862.
The melody is also used in the hymns “God That Madest Earth and Heaven” (1827), and “Father in your Love Enfold Us”.
The song is highly popular with traditional Welsh male voice choirs, and is sung by them at festivals in Wales and around the world.

Personal

David Johnstone lives near Pamplona (Navarre, Spain) with his wife Rosa and their two “Spanglish” children, close to the Atlantic Pyrenees. The nearest international airport is Bilbao.

He is interested in world affairs, politics, animal rights, and most sports (including being a lifelong suffering Reading FC fan!). Also passionate about Celtic culture and genealogy, he has traced his ‘English’ family back to 1280, although Scotland and Ireland have also shaped his background. And yes — he is half-ashamed to admit it, he loves silly jokes!

Social Work

David Johnstone supports animal rights, he is against any form of abuse towards them, and says a loud “NO” to bullfighting, foxhunting and any other animal cruelty.

TORTURE IS NOT CULTURE !
