Written by
British composer George
Butterworth in 1913, this
classic work is based on
two folk songs -
“The Banks of Green
Willow†and
“Green
Bushes†(the latter
also appearing in works
by Grainger and Vaughan
Williams). Butterworth
died in World War I at
the age of 31, and this
composition remains his
most popular, regarded as
an anthem for
“Unknown
Soldiers.†Here is
a masterful setting for
winds adapted by Robert
Longfield. Dur: 3:50.
