Saeterjentens Sondag
for woodwind quintet
by Ole Bornemann Bull (1810-1880) - Norwegian composer


The Shepherd Girl's Sunday is one of Bull's most popular pieces, arranged for wind quintet by Robert Broemel. It seems that on Sunday mornings someone was needed to tend the sheep and cows up on the mountain tops wile church services were being help in the valleys. A selected young lady would get all dressed up for church but have to go up with her Bible and lessons and stay during church to watch over the herds. And just in case any young men might sneak up to visit her, some younger children were often sent up there with her as chaperones. The young lady was thus "all dressed up and no place to go".
