Kingsfold

A woodwind quintet based on the old English folk tune "Kingsfold" transcribed by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Several popular church hymns use this tune such as "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say" and "O Sing a Song of Bethlehem." It is a quasi-fantasia style with the melody being constant throughout being traded amongst the different instruments as events in the music allow.
This piece is slated for a reading by "Space Lab", a New York City-based Woodwind quintet dedicated to solely new music, next month on January 21, 2010.
