About this arrangement

Woodwind Ensemble Clarinet - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1076424 Composed by English Folk Song. Arranged by Mark R Lewis. Folk,Traditional. 8 pages. Mark R Lewis #680582. Published by Mark R Lewis (A0.1076424). "Matty Groves" is a variant of the English folk song sometimes called "Little Musgrave." While the lyrics of the song are rather risqué, dealing with an affair between the local lord's wife and a commoner from the town, the tune is quite lively and fun to listen to. "Matty Groves" is well attested to in folk song literature going back at least as far as the early 1700s if not earlier. It is most well known now because of the British folk rock group Fairport Convention. This version is arranged by Mark Lewis for Bb clarinet quartet. All four players get a turn with the melody, harmony, and accompaniment parts and the verses are separated by a short interlude with an original melody. The rhythms and fingerings are not too difficult but the melody does cover a fairly large range so it may a challenge for younger players. However, almost all intermediate and even some advanced middle school players should be able to play this fun little piece.
