Description
The famous English nursery rhyme and folksong Bobby Shaftoe is given a clever and sophisticated treatment by Gordon Langford. Originally used as a contest piece in 1979, this arrangement takes the simple, jaunty melody and subjects it to Langfordâs signature wit and orchestrational brilliance. The piece is filled with playful interplay between sections and rhythmic surprises, making it a high-quality entertainment item that bridges the gap between traditional folk music and modern concert repertoire.
Difficulty 4
(Medium) A level 4 difficulty rating brings very challenging rhythms to the piece. Syncopation will be freely used, as will the more extreme ranges for all instruments.
