Composed by Ray Thompson. 21st Century,Folk. 8 pages. RayThompsonMusic #824378. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.1228261).Composed for standard wind quintet.
The melody moves around all the individual instruments,with the exeption of the bassoon, who provides the bass throughout.
I have written this as a pastiche of one of the slower movements from Malcolm Arnold's suites of English, Scottish, Cornish Dances.
"Blow the Wind Southerly" tells the tale of a woman desperately hoping for a southerly wind to blow her lover back home over the ocean to her.
Kathleen Ferrier recorded what is perhaps the best-known version of the song in London in 1949.
i have renamed it "Blow Bonnie Breeze" in my original composition Suite: "Tyneside Dances" available for both wind quintet and wind dectet.
You can check out all of my Tyneside/Northumbrian music here.
