Green Bushes Percy Aldridge Grainger / Arr. Frank Pappajohn

This arrangement by Frank Pappajohn, taken from the original full orchestra score, is another of the newly authorized "Grainger Society Approved Editions" by LudwigMasters Publications. While other arrangements exist with cuts in the music, this is the only complete version that is available for band. Composed between 1905 and 1906, it was apparently a quite well-known melody as Grainger collected ten different versions of it over his career, using one version as the concluding movement of his Lincolnshire Posy. This is an important new addition to the repertoire that everyone should have.
