The work builds to quite a passionate climax before re-establishing the pastorale mood of the opening. Thesong on which the story is based has a tragic death at its centre, which is reflected in the score.English composer and folksong collector George Butterworth, who lived at the turn of the last century and lost his life in theFirst World War, is known for his settings of selections of A E Housman's A Shropshire Lad and for an Orchestral rhapsody he composed on the same theme. As a Recorder of folksongs, he was successful in noting more thanthreehundred, mainly from Sussex. One of them, The Banks of Green Willow, is the basis for the idyll for Orchestra that has been adapted here for Piano.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42121726033999,"sku":"TH978431","price":11.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/845a3e5ef7f81db636f3be32831aaa40.jpg?v=1752086613"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/collections\/g-butterworth-the-banks-of-green-willow.oembed","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
