Fantasy on Picardy. Composed by French carol. Arranged by Michael Kamuf. Full Orchestra; Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles. Belwin Intermediate String/Full Orchestra. Hymn; Sacred. Score. 16 pages. Duration 3:30. Belwin Music #00-44805S. Published by Belwin Music (AP.44805S).

UPC: 038081517360. English. French Carol.

Realms of Endless Day is a fantasy setting of the hymn tune melody, Picardy. This melody, thought to have been named for the region in France where it is believed the melody originated, is also the melody for the hymns Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence and Christians, Let Us Love One Another, as well as the Hymn of Saint James. This enduring and tuneful melody is given three contrasting statements that gradually build to an exciting conclusion. This piece is scored for full orchestra by arranger Michael Kamuf, but will work quite effectively with strings alone. (3:30).

Composed by John Caponegro. Accent String Orchestra. Score and Set of Parts. Duration 2:40, without the optional repeat. Kendor Music Inc #8264. Published by Kendor Music Inc (KN.8264).

UPC: 822795082647.

This original by one of the industry's top writers begins as a leisurely chorale that tunefully moves into a march. Extensive doubling of the 2nd Violin and viola parts allows directors to move more players to the 1st violin part. Along similar lines, the bass and cello parts are identical. The optional percussion part (2 copies included) for snare drum, bass drum and crash cymbals complements the march style nicely. Duration 2:40 (without optional repeat). Available in SmartMusic.
