Composed for standard wind quintet.
The melody moves around all the individual instruments,with the exeption of the bassoon, who provides the bass throughout.
I have written this as a pastiche of one of the slower movements from Malcolm Arnold's suites of English, Scottish, Cornish Dances.
Blow the Wind Southerly tells the tale of a woman desperately hoping for a southerly wind to blow her lover back home over the ocean to her.Â
Kathleen Ferrier recorded what is perhaps the best-known version of the song in London in 1949.
i have renamed it Blow Bonnie Breeze in my original composition Suite: Tyneside Dances available for both wind quintet and wind dectet.
