Old MacDonald Goes to Sea (score & parts) - WW5

Old MacDonald Goes to Sea

for woodwind quintet: flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon

by Gerald Fried (b. 1926)

This charming piece was composed during a lunch break at a Children's Concert, and incorporates The Sailor's Hornpipe and Old MacDonald Had a Farm. Although it lasts less than two minutes, it is a perfect piece for children's concerts or as an encore to a quintet concert.
