Dark Medieval Ballad - "Down in Yon Forest" - Harp Twins

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.

LYRICS:
Down In Yon Forest (All Bells in Paradise)
(Arranged by Camille and Kennerly Kitt)

Down in yon forest there stands a hall
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring
It's covered all over with purple and pall
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

In that hall there stands a bed
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring
It's covered all over with scarlet so red
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

At the bed there lies a stone
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring
The Virgin Mary kneels thereon
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

An on that bed there lies a knight
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring
Whose wounds they do bleed by day and by night
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

And under that bed there runs a flood
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring
The one half runs water, the other runs blood
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

At the bed's foot there lies a hound
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring
A-licking the blood as it daily runs down
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

At the bed's foot there grows a thorn
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring
Which bloomed its white blossom the day He was born
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

Over that bed the moon shines bright
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring
Denoting our Savior was born this night
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

Down in yon forest there stands a hall
