SKU: A0.956670
Composed by Traditional English. Arranged by Catriona Melville-Mason. Folk,Multicultural,Standards,World. 15 pages. C Melville-Mason #6867579. Published by C Melville-Mason (A0.956670).This cheerful jig originates from the North of England (although some sources suggest Ireland) and, as with many traditional tunes, it exists in a number of slightly different variants. The Oyster Girl is often used for Morris or maypole dancing, as well as being a popular pub session tune.
Here, the tune is arranged for 4-part mixed woodwind combination of 2 flutes, oboe and either clarinet in B-flat or bassoon. As well as being an enjoyable, upbeat piece to perform, this arrangement is also ideal as a demonstration of the different tone colours of the instruments, as each takes a turn with the melody.
Although classed as 'intermediate', the difficulty of the piece really depends on how fast you attempt to play it!
