In 2006, Enya started work on a Christmas album of traditional carols and original tracks, but the idea was changed to a collection of songs with a Christmas or winter theme as it better suited the style of the new material. It was recorded with her long-time collaborators, arranger and producer Nicky Ryan and his wife, lyricist Roma Ryan. Journey of the Angels is from this album, 'And Winter Came...' and was written in the style of what Enya described as a slow traditional carol; she chose it as a personal highlight. The song is dedicated to the American director and editor Tim Royes, who produced the music videos for Enya's songs Amarantine and It's in the Rain and died in 2007. This arrangement for concert band is part of an ongoing project to bring more music by women composers into the worldwide repertoire and features prominent parts for Cor Anglais (cued if not available) and tubular bells (chimes) to really bring out the wintery atmosphere. The ending should just float away to nothing...

Continuing on from the success of her album Watermark, Enya brought 'new melodies, new emotions' and this opening track, 'Shepherd Moons' (1991) brings us right back into the familiar, dreamy sound world. Named after the discovery of twin moons orbiting Saturn in 1980 (eventually named Pandora and Prometheus), 'Shepherd Moons' in Roma Ryan's words, protect and preserve the rings very much like a shepherd guiding his flock. This arrangement for concert band features all the wonderful harmonies, and more, and includes reverb effects in the trumpets and trombones to help recreate a sense of the original recording.

'Watermark' is the title track from the second studio album by Irish singer, songwriter and musician Enya, released on 19 September 1988, recorded in ten months with her long-time collaborators, manager, producer and arranger Nicky Ryan and his wife, lyricist Roma Ryan. Four singles were released from the album, including the massive worldwide hit, 'Orinoco Flow', which put Enya and her signature-style music on the map from then on. The title 'Watermark' is derived from a poem Roma was writing at the time of recording, which inspired her to name the track accordingly; however, the track was kept as an instrumental and the poem was left unused. This gentle piece can be used for a moment of quiet reflection in a concert, or perhaps a church setting to accompany a devotional or memorial tribute. Arranged as part of a project to expand the repertoire of music by women for concert bands around the world.

Book of Days is taken from Enya's 1991 album, 'Shepherd Moons', is originally sung in Irish Gaelic. It was re-recorded bilingually for Ron Howard's film Far and Away, and scenes from the film feature in the promotional music video. The song became Enya's second top-ten single on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 10, and reached number 12 on the Irish Singles Chart. If you notice a smiliarity between this and James Horner's 'Southampton' from the TITANIC soundtrack, it's because Book of Days was used as a temporary track whilst editing that film - the driving, undulating rhythms are perfect to provide a dramatic moment in any concert, particularly of film music and this arrangement has been made as part of a project to help expand and diversify the repertoire of pieces by women for concert bands around the world.

With nearly 250 million views on YouTube (as of September 2023) the popularity of Enya around the world remains strong and this haunting track contains all the hallmarks of her characteristic sound, an almost timeless blend of soft vocals, luscious strings and unexpected harmonic shifts. Only Time was released in November 2000 as the lead single from her fifth studio album, 'A Day Without Rain' (2000). The song reached number one in Canada, Germany, Poland and Switzerland, number two in Austria, and became Enya's only top-10 single as a solo artist in the United States, peaking at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was featured in the 2018 Marvel film Deadpool 2, as well as Thor: Love and Thunder in 2022; it has also been widely used as an internet meme depicting various scenes that end in tragedy. This arrangement for concert band, featuring parts for Alto Flute (or Cor Anglais) will set a distinctive mood in your concert or graduation ceremonies. Arranged as part of a project to bring more music by women into the worldwide concert band repertoire.
