Composed by Hugh M. Stuart. Arranged by Robert Longfield. Flex-Band Grade 3. Softcover. Duration 300 seconds. Hal Leonard #4004739. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.4004739).

UPC: 888680621643. 9.0x12.0x0.811 inches. Hugh M. Stuart/adapt. Robert Longfield.

This playable yet musically rewarding three-movement suite was composed by Hugh M. Stuart in 1969 and continues to be a popular work for contest and festivals. Skillfully adapted here for flexible instrumentation, the music captures the early English folksong style with moods and dances of the common folk. Dur: 5:00.

Deceptively easy
This is a great introduction to Folk Song styles for young bands or indeed for adult amateurs. It is not technically challenging but to play the three movements convincingly and with style is something many band musicians will find requires great control. The first movement in particular is interesting: despite the good arranging it could sound trite if not sensitively performed. Flex arrangements have great advantages for small bands but the downside is often with blandness in the scoring. With the Gloucester Ayres this is not as noticeable. The set the 3 short movements provides an excellent foil to other more boisterous pieces in a well constructed concert programme.
