Based on the English folk song The Keeper Would A-Hunting Go this delightful arrangement passes the melody around the ensemble in a call-and-response fashion. A great way to feature various sections of the band and explore the concept of key changes this is an ideal choice for directors who have come to trust the pen of Andrew Balent. (1:55)

Through the years this well-known English folk song has been a favorite with composers including Ralph Vaughan Williams (English Folk Song Suite) and George Butterworth (The Bank of Green Willow). One of the best-known versions of Percy Grainger's 1921 setting for two pianos and this delightful arrangement for young bands is based in part on Grainger's version. Dur: 2:45

In this expansive work from Samuel Hazo the title draws inspiration from a poem by Robert Frost and the thematic material is a creative interpretation of the English folk song Seventeen Come Eleven. Differing from Vaughan Williams' treatment of this same tune in English Folk Song Suite however this setting remains at a slow tempo throughout and undergoes a myriad of changes through use of harmonic and textural variations. Beautifully and effectively paced with key impact points at just the right moments. Dur: 5:00

Here's a fantasia for beginning band based on the English folk song 'Scarborough Fair.' This beautiful melody is passed around to all instruments in this contemporary and expressive setting that is certain to be a favorite for students and audiences. A musical adventure. (2:15) / Concert Band

Using this traditional English folk song as a basis and intertwining an original secondary theme Johnnie Vinson has created this very appealing and fresh-sounding setting for the holidays. With interesting parts for allinstruments this is one your band is sure to enjoy playing.

'Gaudete' comes from the Finnish/Swedish 'Piae Cantiones' a collection of religious music from the 16th century. The English folk group 'Steeleye Span' featuring female lead singer Maddy Prior had a hit with this song in the seventies. Peter Martin made a scintillating arrangement for wind-band. By the use of fourths and thirds in the melody the composer harks back to the period from which the song originated (The Middle Ages)

Claude T. Smith's easy effective set of variations is destined to become a classic grade III overture. This is easy festival programming at its best.

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 Englishfolksong style with moods and dances of the common folk.
