The Oak and The Ash (North Country Maid)

    This is a traditional English folk song, known variously as "The Oak and The Ash" or "A North Country Maid". I first heard this from The Watersons.

    My recording is based on an arrangement for mandolin orchestra by Norma White, available from Musescore:

    For my recording, I have reduced this to a quintet of mandolin, octave mandolin, two mandocello parts and tenor guitar. The score has a second mandolin part, but it is identical to the first mandolin and I have therefore omitted it.

    1921 Gibson Ajr mandolin
    Mid-Missouri M-111 octave mandolin
    Suzuki MC-815 mandocello (x2)
    Vintage Viaten tenor guitar
