Concert Band - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1511499 By Enya. By Enya, Nicky Ryan, and Roma Ryan. Arranged by John Ivor Holland. 21st Century,Christmas,New Age,Religious,Singer/Songwriter. 48 pages. John Ivor Holland #1086655. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1511499). 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...
