Lake Charles Community Band - Greensleeves arranged by Alfred Reed

Greensleeves, arranged by Alfred Reed "Alfred Reed’s arrangement of Greensleeves is another highlight of tonight’s program. This hauntingly beautiful melody has roots going back over 600 years in England, originally as a folk tune and later adapted into the Christmas carol 'What Child Is This?' Reed’s version is a lush and symphonic interpretation that captures the timeless beauty of this melody, evoking images of medieval England and the mysteries of a bygone era."In this arrangement, Reed uses the full ensemble to bring out the depth and emotion of Greensleeves, from the gentle woodwind sections to the sweeping strings and powerful brass. It’s a melody that has resonated through the centuries, and tonight, we’re excited to share it with you in this moving arrangement."
