The Rowan Tree
The Rowan Tree - Randall Standridge
The Rowan Tree,
based on an old Scottish melody, is a great lyrical showcase for your band. I first heard this melody when playing Pentland Hills, a concert march by Howe. “The Rowan Tree” appears in that work as the trio melody. Ever since hearing it, it stuck with me until I finally decided to do a setting of this gorgeous melody. *J.W. Pepper Editor’s Choice 2010
