Gustav Holst - Folksongs of Hampshire England . In the early 1900's there was great interest in collecting and preserving the folk songs of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Equipped with their newly invented recording devices, people such as Cecil Sharp, Charles Stanford, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Gustav Holst would travel into the country-side to record, or notate songs being sung. They would frequently use these songs in their own compositions. Holst's music in particular is filled with those songs and his two suites for band are especially valued by wind bands around the world. This group of four songs was arranged for voice and piano by Holst and set for flute quartet by John Gibson. The songs are 1. Young Edwin in the Lowlands Low 2. Bedlam City 3. The Irish Girl 4. Young Reilly. The instrumentation is: Flute 1 - 3, and alto with an alternate 4th flute for the alto.

When serendipity strikes it\'s usually a good thing, in this case it\'s a beautiful thing! Meditation by Walter Battison Haynes, here scored for Flute Quartet, is a delightful and exquisite example of forgotten music that should be heard again! In a generous acoustic, this piece would calm a raging bull !!Also available in Woodwind Quartet, Saxophone Quartet, Clarinet Quartet and String Quartet flavours!
