Description
This is one of several arrangements of my tune "The grass is growing in the field of ash", specially requested by the flautist Lisa Hedley for her wind quintet (The Emerald wind quintet).
The pdf file contains score and parts.
The sound sample is an electronic preview.
The piece was originally conceived as a 60s style folk vocal duet on this poem by Mark Haviland:
"The grass is growing in the field of ash
Come look come see
with the passing of each day
the green grows stronger than the grey"
Various versions of the music are now available:
flute quartet, 2 flutes (or 2 recorders) and guitar, 2 altos and guitar, flute, oboe & piano, flute, cor anglais & piano, flute choir and this wind quintet version.
