By Redgum. Composed by John Schumann. Arranged by Brett A Foster. This edition: audio, pdf, streaming. Contemporary, Folk, Multicultural, Pop, Rock, World. 115 pages. BF Music #1174095. Published by BF Music (A0.1603891).

"I Was Only Nineteen", "I Was Only 19" or "A Walk in the Light Green" is the most widely recognised song by Australian folk group Redgum. The song was released in March 1983 as a single, which hit number one for two weeks. This version has been created for Concert Band / Wind Ensemble. The piece should be easily playable by Intermediate - to Advanced Concert Bands. TThe piano part is important for the core rhythms section, as is the guitar. The song itself is a first-person account of a typical Australian soldier's experience in the Vietnam War, from training at a military academy in Australia to first hand exposure to military operations and combat, and ultimately his return home disillusioned and suffering from both PTSD and, it is implied, the harmful effects of Agent Orange. This piece would work well at any ANZAC Day or Memorial Day event for the Armed services.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
