All Through the Night by Welsh Folk Song SSAATTBB - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.1248145

Tender, luminous, and richly expressive, All Through the Night is a beautifully crafted a cappella setting of the beloved Welsh folksong, set for SATB divisi. Ideal for advanced high school, collegiate, and community choirs seeking a lyrical concert feature, this arrangement offers lush harmonies, expressive phrasing, and timeless poetry—an elegant addition to any program centered on folk music, lullabies, or reflective choral repertoire.

Opening with hushed, sustained “Sleep” motives that unfold in warm, stacked harmonies, this arrangement establishes a cradle-like stillness before blossoming into flowing, lyrical phrases at a gently moving pulse. Throughout the piece, expressive dynamic swells, carefully shaped suspensions, and tender imitative entrances—particularly in passages such as “Guardian angels God will send thee” — are woven together to create a shimmering choral texture that feels both intimate and expansive. Divisi writing enriches the harmonic palette without sacrificing singability, while recurring “Sleep” refrains and a final molto ritardando bring the work to a deeply satisfying, peaceful close.
