“All Things Bright And Beautiful” arranged by Darya Belikova is an intermediate piano arrangement of the well-known hymn. The piece is written in C major and common time, with a clear hymn melody in the right hand and mostly chordal or stepwise support in the left hand. The arrangement begins simply, then becomes more active in the middle with a moving left-hand line before returning to a fuller hymn-like close.

Measures 1–8 introduce the main melody in the right hand. The left hand supports with simple blocked chords and held harmonies, keeping the tune easy to hear. The rhythm is steady and clear, and the right hand stays mostly melodic while the left hand provides a stable foundation underneath.

Measures 9–16 continue the hymn melody with similar right-hand writing, but the harmony changes slightly and includes a few sharper color notes. The left hand still uses chordal support, so the section remains calm and hymn-like. The final measures of this section give the phrase a clear sense of arrival before the texture changes.

Measures 17–24 become more active. The left hand begins moving in a stepwise pattern instead of only holding chords, while the right hand continues the melody above it. This creates more motion and gives the middle of the arrangement a fuller intermediate-level sound.

Measures 25–32 continue the flowing left-hand motion. The right hand keeps the familiar tune clear, while the left hand moves underneath with steady quarter notes and small changes of direction. This section adds variety without making the melody hard to follow.

Measures 33–40 bring the arrangement back toward a more hymn-like ending. The left hand alternates between moving notes and fuller chord shapes, while the right hand completes the melody. The final measures settle into a clear cadence, ending the piece with a simple, complete sound.

Interesting fact: “All Things Bright and Beautiful” was written by Cecil Frances Alexander and first appeared in her 1848 collection Hymns for Little Children. The text is often connected with the idea of God as Creator, especially the phrase “maker of heaven and earth” from the Apostles’ Creed.
