Description:
The best known piece of the young composer George Butterworth is a pastoral setting based on two English folk song melodies (The Banks of Green Willow and Green Bushes), and is similar to the compositional approach of Holst, Vaughan Williams, and Grainger. This arrangement captures the beauty and grace of the most admired English orchestral works from the early 20th century.
