£31.94Sweet Hour of Prayer (Chamber Orchestra) William Bradbury arr. Kenneth Downie
This delightful arrangement by Scottish composer Kenneth Downie of the much loved hymn 'Sweet Hour of Prayer' is now available for chamber orchestra. This ethereal setting transforms the familiar melody into a tapestry of celestial sound. The setting was one of the pieces on the CD Classic Hymns - The Symphonic Music of Kenneth Downie, available from this website. The arranger writes: 'There is a winsome quality to the words and music of Walford's hymn 'Sweet Hour of Prayer' that I find most attractive. The tune, by William Bradbury, captures this mood and I have tried to emulate it in my setting for orchestra. References to prayer calling us from a world of care, and bringing relief from seasons of distress and grief, are key to understanding the required style. The overall effect in performance should be to generate a feeling of calm and peaceful assurance.'

£47.92We wish you a Merry Christmas (Orchestra) English Trad. arr. Kenneth Downie
This delightful arrangement of We wish you a Merry Christmas comes from the pen of Scottish composer and arranger Kenneth Downie. He writes: 'The origins of this jolly carol lie in the West Country of England, which has been my home for the last 12 years. Carollers singing this song make the wish that their hearers will have a merry Christmas and a happy new year, but then go on to request some 'figgy pudding' - and if they don't receive the aforementioned pudding, they threaten to keep on singing indefinitely. Having experienced at first hand the dubious quality of some carol singers, this threat should be taken seriously! Quite obviously, a carol of this profound nature calls for a matching musical approach in performance. It should be played with a smile, and hopefully leave a smile on the face of the listeners.'
