In his setting of “Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence” for string orchestra, composer Kevin Uppercue creates an ethereal atmosphere through an accompanimental texture of natural string harmonics. Uppercue’s fantasia explores the harmonic and contrapuntal potential of the famous French tune (PICARDY), and is a suitable for high school string orchestra (Grade 3-4) or above. It is particularly appropriate for performance by church ensembles, especially for Advent or Christmas celebrations, and can be played by quintet alone. Duration: 3:15

UPC: 641151088150.

This much loved text, set to the tune PICARDY, is skillfully arranged for voices, organ, and handbells by Oklahoma composer LIsa Stafford. The stark organ texture in the opening verse sets the plaintive mood and provides a foundation for the melody line as the handbells ring softly above. Verses 2 and 3 emphasize a four-part choral structure, the latter stanza written for voices alone and employing a cunning use of contrary motion between SA and TB. An organ interlude initiates a running eighth-note figure that segues into and continues through the final verse as all forces unite.

Orchestra - Grade 2.5

SKU: AP.44805

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 and Part(s). 122 pages. Duration 3:30. Belwin Music #00-44805. Published by Belwin Music (AP.44805).

UPC: 038081517353. 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).
