A pensive Level 2+ setting of the Welsh lullaby "Suo Gan", Philip Young's "Meditation on a Welsh Melody" captures all the beauty of the original. Set for three to six octaves of handbells and optional handchimes, "Meditation on Welsh Melody" uses to a tempo of quarter = 54 and a pianissimo dynamic marking to create its "dreamy" quality. Scored primarily in Eb Major, this piece is 47 measures.
