The Banks of Green Willow
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.

The Bare Necessities
First heard in the original 1967 movie, this familiar tune is featured again in the blockbuster 2016 version. In this clever arrangement for band, Paul Murtha uses a peppy 2-beat style and starts out with the trombones on the melody. Every section of the band gets into the act, however, including a solo or soli for tuba, and a brief slower section for a Dixieland combo leading to the rousing finish. A guaranteed highlight on any concert.SKU: HL04004779 -
