Kingsfold

This beautiful folk song has been used as the melody for several popular hymns including: "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say," "O Sing a Song of Bethlehem," "I Feel the Winds of God Today," and several others. It is a beautiful work that seems to float along both melodically and harmonically. This arrangement is opened by a solo voice with a sense of a lone player on the top of a hill surrounded by mist. The tune is then played in full quartet voicing leading to other variations. It ends as it began---very peacefully and reflectively. It has been scored for four trumpets, four horns, three trombones, euphonium, tuba, and percussion.
