Variations on Green
Sleeves for marimba trio arr. by Dan Heslink
This most ancient and loved
British folksong can be found in hundreds of arrangements, but imagine its setting
for percussion ensemble, or as a Caribbean salsa, or as an American jazz
selection. All of these styles are explored with this extremely popular tune.
This if one of two
arrangements of Green Sleeves by Dan Heslink, both of which are available through
Sheet Music Plus. The other arrangement, for percussion quintet, follows
similar musical contours and is available separately. Its demands are at the intermediate level.
This work will serve any concert or recital
very well. It also brings the melodys seasonal associations, for it is the tune
to which the words "What Child Is This" is set. Audiences and performers will enjoy its modal cast and high variety
of expressive content, ranging from evocative pastoral folksong, to rhythmic Latin
dance and to the swinging climax.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
