David Marlatt

Kingsfold David Marlatt

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 violin with a sense of a lone player on the top of a hill surrounded by mist. The tune is then played in full quartet voicing leading to other variations and rescorings, ending as it began---very peacefully and reflectively.
