This is something a bit different for me, I don't play woodwind and struggle to understand the technicalities of playing them, but I love the sound, and marvel at the range they can achieve. This quartet is a bit of fun, I was originally asked to arrange this piece for recorders, then I made an adaption for trombones as a little bit of fun for a band weekend away. But of the various versions this is the one I am most happy with and the one I have now published. It is available here to download from Sheet Music Direct
Interestingly when I checked up on the history of the piece I found that it was written in 1956 by Ralph Butler and Peter Hart, but of more interest to me is that the first recording was by Mandy Miller, and the orchestrion was by RON GOODWIN! not my father ~ but the other Ron Goodwin
