    Two Portraits From Olde England Traditional Arr. Stephen Chin

    Both of these musical compositions are deeply rooted in the rich and vibrant tradition of English folk songs. The Greens Bushes is a poignant and melancholic piece that tells the story of a lover who has lost his beloved to someone else. The use of legato bowing, harmonics, and gentle pizzicato notes creates a sense of longing and wistfulness that is sure to tug at the heartstrings of the listener.

    In contrast, The Wraggle Taggle Gypsies is a lively and spirited piece that captures the free-spirited nature of a wandering group of nomads and their hilarious exploits. The bold and robust notes used in this composition evoke a sense of adventure and excitement as if the listener is right there with the gypsies on their journey. Together, these two pieces showcase the incredible range and versatility of English folk music.
