Air on a Joyful Heart—Quincy Hilliard. The
Ash Grove is one of the most well-known
and widely adapted Welsh folk songs. This
setting for developing concert band opens

as written or may become an ad-lib solo.
The lovely melody is then taken through
rich development and restatements that
work their way from section to section
while exploring various tempo, meter, and
texture changes. A work rich in musical and
educational value.
