Description
Down in Yon Forest (All Bells in Paradise) is an English Carol that dates back to the Renaissance era and the original writer has been lost to history. The lyrics are dark, mysterious, and somehow beautiful all at the same time! The meaning of the brooding lyrics and song have been long debated, but perhaps the mystery is part of the intrigue of this haunting carol. There are words about a knight being bled daily, a hound drinking a river made of half water and half blood, and of course, there is a mysterious hall in a forest. We found the perfect enchanted “hall” ruins in the middle of a forest for our music video! We included all of the lyrics that we could find, and even made some adjustments so that they lyrics fit perfectly with our 2-harp and vocal arrangement. In homage to the Renaissance era in which this piece was written, in our interpretation you will hear lots of unique harmonies and chant-like backing vocals – some very low and some very high in range. In fact, Camille sang lower in this song than she previously knew she could sing! “Down in Yon Forest” is the 2nd track on our new Celtic, Classical, Sacred, and Original album, HARP REFLECTIONS. https://smarturl.it/HarpReflections We hope that our interpretation will grip your imagination and sweep you away to a dark and foreboding forest in the 15th century.
Everything that you hear in the video is just our harps and our voices – exactly like we can perform it live with no overlays or backing tracks. We are incredibly excited to share this arrangement with all of you.
