Description:
This setting of The Ash Grove is a musical fantasy based on an old traditional Welsh folksong, which is also known as Llwyn Onn. This version of the song tells of a sailors love for Gwen of Llwyn and has been around for several hundred years. The melodious nature of this beautiful folksong, popular with generations of listeners, continues to be a favorite subject of composers and arrangers in all mediums. Featured in the 1980 British Broadcasting Companys acclaimed mini-series, Pride and Prejudice, this excellent setting features melodic, lyrical playing that will enhance every bands musicianship and expression.
