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.
