Now the Day Is Over represents the composer's lullaby to his son. Based on a 19th-century English hymn and reminiscent of Renaissance-era melodies, the piece has a simple yet deceptively sophisticated atmosphere of peace and tranquility. Scored for 9 players (including piano or synth). This piece comes with a full, bound score and includes a CD-Rom containing an audio recording and all individual parts available for printing.
