Variations on Green Sleeves for marimba trio arr. by Dan Heslink This most ancient and loved British folksong can be found in hundreds of arrangements, but imagine it’s setting for percussion ensemble, or as a Caribbean salsa, or as an American jazz selection. All of these styles are explored with this extremely popular tune. This if one of two arrangements of Green Sleeves by Dan Heslink, both of which are available through Sheet Music Plus. The other arrangement, for percussion quintet, follows similar musical contours and is available separately. It’s demands are at the intermediate level. This work will serve any concert or recital very well. It also brings the melody’s seasonal associations, for it is the tune to which the words What Child Is This is set. Audiences and performers will enjoy its modal cast and high variety of expressive content, ranging from evocative pastoral folksong, to rhythmic Latin dance and to the swinging climax.
