A Folk Song Suite Op 18

Available for Recorder, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Saxophone, Bassoon or French Horn

One of my favourite compositions, it makes much use of your spoken voice, either reciting the text at the start, or actually inside the piece. Technically this suite can be classed as "Easy" The five movements comprise:
Where have all the Birds gone?
Long was her hair ...
Where has Jenny gone?
The little Pig sings jiggy-jiggy-jig
Round me trips it merrily

Take courage (With your shouting) in the first movement!
