This is a fantastic Welsh carol that deserves to be part of every Christmas celebration. The title in Welsh is
Tua Bethlehem Derf, and it is tricky to find a good version. There is a band called "Lost Hollow" who has a
nice arrangement available on Spotify that I recommend. I won't be writing their arrangement, but they show
that there is plenty of room in this song for creative harmonies and musical breaks. Enjoy what
may be the most haunting melody in all of Christmas music.
Am can be substituted for A5, but for solo acoustic it adds an important texture.
