From English Folk Song Suite, Mvt 2. Composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Arranged by Huckeby. Concert Band. Score and set of parts. C.L. Barnhouse #026-4907-00. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.026-4907-00).
The beautiful intermezzo, entitled My Bonny Boy, from Ralph Vaughan Williams’ iconic English Folk Song Suite has been skillfully adapted by Ed Huckeby. This Build-A-Band edition allows bands with limited or unusual instrumentation, or sparsely-sized to enjoy the unique character of this band classic. The two folk tunes incorporated in this movement provide tremendous educational opportunities for bands to develop contrasting stylistic skills while rehearsing and performing a classic masterwork. Superb!
