Product Description

Composed for standard wind quintet.

The melody moves around all the individual instruments,with the exeption of the bassoon, who provides the bass throughout.

I have written this as a pastiche of one of the slower movements from Malcolm Arnold's suites of English, Scottish, Cornish Dances.

"Blow the Wind Southerly" tells the tale of a woman desperately hoping for a southerly wind to blow her lover back home over the ocean to her.

Kathleen Ferrier recorded what is perhaps the best-known version of the song in London in 1949.

i have renamed it "Blow Bonnie Breeze" in my original composition Suite: "Tyneside Dances" available for both wind quintet and wind dectet.

You can check out all of my Tyneside/Northumbrian music here.
