Description

This is an English folk song first collected in Bere Regis, Dorset in 1905. Whilst the words tell of a depressing tale, musically the modal melody and associated harmonies are typical of those commonly used by both Ralph Vaughan Williams and Gustav Holst in some of their more popular works. Indeed, I have included a deliberate nod in Holst's direction; listen carefully. J.M.

Jock McKenzie studied trumpet at the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester where he was a joint recipient of the college’s concerto prize. Since 1987 Jock has based his musical career in Hampshire, working as a freelance trumpeter, conductor, composer, arranger and brass teacher. Currently Jock holds the position of Professional Leader (Brass) for Hampshire Music Service and is the Director of the Hampshire County Youth Band. It is the mix of all of these musical roles that has led to Jock establishing a reputation as a leading creator of brass music resources, particularly in the field of education and brass ensemble music.

“Brilliant technique and superb artistry from all concerned.”
