A
very interesting new
setting for band of
British folk songs that
were actually arranged
for voice and piano by
Beethoven! Arranger
Balent has created a
delightful three section
piece based on
Beethoven's work. It is a
colorful new rhapsody for
band that works
exceptionally well. It
would be a refreshing
piece in a concert or
contest
program.
Beethoven
wrote at least nine folk
song settings from the
British Isles. Originally
for piano and voice,
three of them are
included in this
medley:The Pulse of an
Irishman (Irish) -
Alexander BoswellBonny
Laddie, Highland Laddie
(Scottish) - James
HoggThe Minstrel Boy
(Irish) - Willam

playing this unusual part
of musical
history.Performance Time:
