This beautiful folk song has been used as the melody for several popular hymns, including "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say," "O Sing a Song of Bethlehem," "I Feel the Winds of God Today" and several others. This arrangement is opened by a solo trumpet with a sense of a lone player on the top of a hill surrounded by mist. The tune is then played in a brass quartet voicing leading to other variations and rescorings. Ending, as it began, very peacefully and reflectively.
