The Banks of the Green Willow by George Butterworth
English composer George Butterworth completed this short orchestral work in 1913. It is based on folk songs from the British Isles, in particular that of “The Banks of Green Willow”. Butterworth would die during the Battle of the Somme three years later, sadly depriving the world of the music he still had yet to give.
