Assesment[edit]

I found this rated 'Start', but there can't be much more to say. I was torn between rating it B or C, but my unfamiliarity with the technical side, and hence the suitability of the references, made me uncharacteristically on the cautious side. I do know it to be a wonderful bit of music.

Saxophones[edit]

Lincolnshire Posy has 6 saxophone parts written (soprano, alto subtituting soprano, alto, tenor, baritone and and bass ad lib.). Grainger asks that the soprano be preferred if possible. However the soprano part is quite low so it is often played with the alto saxophone (info from the 1940 edition). Fennell arrangement removes the ad lib. and substitution and asks for six saxophones, the previous subtitution written as separate alto 1 (read from the score, I don’t have access to the parts). Maybe the instrumentation should thus be: 5 saxophones (soprano (or alto), alto, tenor, baritone and and bass ad lib.)?

Edit Request[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. The request was not specific enough. You may consider leaving your comments on the Talk page or escalating significant issues to the conflict of interest noticeboard.

Information to be added or removed: I would appreciate it if someone could add both a segment of movement five and a corresponding MIDI file. Explanation of issue: My computer is garbage, and as such, cannot handle MIDI files. References supporting change: [1] Here's the IMSLP page.

I'm a bit busy at the moment, but I'd be glad to do so when I get the chance. Thanks for the suggestion! Noahfgodard (talk) 18:20, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Aven13: this has sat here for about a month now and so I am marking it declined. I lack the ability to know what you want. Perhaps Noahfgodard can still help? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:02, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Aven13: @Barkeep49: Sorry for the delay. I put in an excerpt of the free time at the beginning of the movement. Noahfgodard (talk) 23:37, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Minor but interesting point - if only three movements could be performed at what is described as the debut, presumably the complete final version would also have had a "debut". When and where? Further point - folksongs have words - that's why they are songs. Reference to sources for the most common text versions would certainly helpDelahays (talk) 12:26, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
