On Old English Songs. Composed by La Plante. Concert Band. Concert Band Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR388). Score and set of parts. Composed 2016. Duration 7 minutes, 52 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-4484-00. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-4484-00).This suite was written and intended as a homage and stepping stone to the great band works of Holst, Grainger & Vaughan Williams. The three movements are based on traditional English folk tunes which include settings of sea songs, a ballad, and variations on an old whimsical children’s song. Written somewhat in the style of the above-mentioned masters, this suite is accessible to younger bands yet appropriate for more advanced ensembles. Destined to be a band classic!
