The Banks of Green Willow - Brass Ensemble by George Butterworth Brass Ensemble - Digital Sheet Music

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 Trumpet3 TrumpetsFlugelhornFrench Horn2 TrombonesEuphoniumBass TromboneTubaTimpaniAux Percussion
