CGB1303 Rhosymedre - Full Score

Rhosymedre (meaning “lovely” in Welsh) is the name of a hymn tune written by the 19th-century Welsh Anglican priest John David Edwards. Edwards named the tune after the village of Rhosymedre in the County Borough of Wrexham, Wales, where he was the vicar from 1843 until his death in 1885. The tune was used by Ralph Vaughan Williams as the basis of the second movement of his organ composition, Three Preludes on Welsh Hymn Tunes. This arrangement may be played by handbells and handchimes alone.  The optional flute and cello parts enhance both the original hymn tune and Vaughan Williams’ beautiful setting.
