The Bells of Paradise

Very obscure Ancient English Christmas song. I never heard anyone play this song before. I can read music enough to figure out the melody though. Found this one in an old Christmas songbook I got at a thrift store.

There's a Canadian CD called "Songs of Witchcraft and Magic" (label:wildgoose). I read about it in a Canadian Folk music bulletin - there's a song on there that shares the title.... maybe it's the same "bells of paradise" ? I haven't heard it myself, that's why I was looking for it on here. Your interpretation sounds wonderful however - thanks for uploading it :-)

Got to love those old English Christmas songs! Bring on those minor chords and feel the cold as the bells ring out the promise of Paradise. Put another Yule log on the fire, Dan, and enjoy the blessings of the season. ~ Mark
