About this arrangement

Flute & Clarinet Choir (3 Fls, 3 Bb Cls.) - Grade 6 to 9 SKU: WN.PXTR007 Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Mel Orriss. Pick & Mix series. Score and parts. Wonderful Winds #PXTR007. Published by Wonderful Winds (WN.PXTR007). ISBN 9790570746736.This piece is a setting of two traditional songs, both of which tell the story of scavenger birds planning to feed on the body of a dead knight. The first tune, The Three Ravens, was first printed in 1611 in a book compiled by Thomas Ravenscroft. The second tune, Twa Corbies, is an ancient Scottish ballad. The eerie opening features a Clarinet solo set against hanging chords, before the second tune appears as a refrain coloured by swooping phrases in the accompaniment. Plenty of atmosphere in this dark and mysterious piece.
