Description
This spirited arrangement of the traditional Canadian sea shanty Donkey Riding is full of character and nautical charm. Originally arranged by Donald Coakley and adapted for brass band by David Marlatt, the piece features bright, rhythmic themes and a robust “working song” energy. It is an excellent choice for a program of folk music or “Music from the Sea,” providing a lively and engaging moment that audiences will immediately recognize and enjoy.
