Before becoming a part of many hymnals, “Suo Gan” was originally a Welsh lullaby, then a standard in bagpipe repertoire. This creative arrangement from Kevin McChesney uses handbells, a C instrument, and percussion to take ringers and listeners on a unexpected musical journey. 117 measures. Key of C Major.
