Description:
'Folk Songs From Somerset,' the third movement from Ralph Vaughan Williams' 'English Folk Song Suite' is a classic march incorporating four traditional folk songs: 'Blow Away The Morning Dew,' 'High Germany,' 'The Tree So High' and 'John Barley's Corn.' Using both 2/4 and 6/8 meters, Vaughan Williams has created a unique educational opportunity for ensembles to contrast duple and compound meter. Creatively adapted for the Build-A-Band series by master composer/arranger, Ed Huckeby, this masterful work is now available for ensembles with unusual or limited instrumentation. Your students and audiences will love this English band classic!
