Product Description

George Butterworth (1885-1916) was an English composer before he his untimely death during WW1. As a composer he showed real potential, but left behind only a few compositions - The Banks of Green Willow being one of them.  Written in 1913 the composer described the work as an Idyll based on two folk songs - The Banks of Green Willow and Green Bushes.  This arrrangement for brass ensemble remains as close to the original as possible, whilst making it achievable for brass musicians.  A challenging arrangement of a super work by a composer killed surving his country.  Arrranged in 2018, 100 years after the end of WW1.

The arrangement is for essentially a 10 piece brass with an additional flugelhorn part and euphonium part, which could be played on a trombone - tricky!

It should be noted that both the piccolo trumpet and euphonium parts are particularly chanllenging.

Arranged for:

Piccolo Trumpet
3 Trumpets
Flugelhorn
French Horn
2 Trombones
Euphonium
Bass Trombone
Tuba
Timpani
Aux Percussion
