Concert Band - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1296034 By Enya. By Enya and Nicky Ryan. Arranged by John Ivor Holland. 20th Century,Film/TV,Folk,New Age,Pop. Score and Parts. 44 pages. John Ivor Holland #886304. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1296034). 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.
