Simple Symphony by Benjamin Britten 1934

[Andy Boden]

In 4 movements -

1 Boisterous Bourée
2 Playful Pizzicato
3 Sentimental Saraband
4 Frolicsome Finale

I initially thought the second movement would easily translate from String orchestra to Mandolin orchestra, but then continued to transcribe/arrange the rest.

Hello Andy,

Excellent work and very good to have all the movements of this wonderful 'Simple' Symphony by Benjamin Britten.
I did the 2nd movement with Het CONSORT and it was really fun to study and play it. Now, with your setting for mandolin orchestra of the whole Symphony I am very tempted to give it another go but then complete; all the movements!
Can you inform me where I can purchase the score and parts?
Thanks again ánd in advance
and best greetings,


Alex.
