What piece was composed in 1937 for the American Bandmasters Association and has a melody similar to Green Bushes?
Green Bushes Green Bushes is an English folk song (Roud #1040, Laws P2) which is featured in the second movement of Ralph Vaughan Williams' "English Folk Song Suite", in Percy Grainger's "Green Bushes (Passacaglia on an English Folksong)", and in George Butterworth's "The Banks of Green Willow". The melody is very similar to that of the "Lost Lady Found" movement of Percy Grainger's Lincolnshire Posy, and to The Cutty Wren.
Roscoe Mitchell Roscoe Mitchell (born August 3, 1940) is an American composer, jazz instrumentalist, and educator, known for being "a technically superb – if idiosyncratic – saxophonist." "The Penguin Guide to Jazz" described him as "one of the key figures" in avant-garde jazz; All About Jazz states that he has been "at the forefront of modern music" for the past 35 years. Critic Jon Pareles in "The New York Times" has mentioned that Mitchell "qualifies as an iconoclast." In addition to his own work as a bandleader, Mitchell is known for cofounding the Art Ensemble of Chicago and the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM).
