A very interesting new setting for band of British folk songs that were actually arranged for voice and piano by Beethoven! Arranger Balent has created a delightful three section piece based on Beethoven's work. It is a colorful new rhapsody for band that works exceptionally well. It would be a refreshing piece in a concert or contest program.
