The Thrush by William Godfrey (flourished 1804) edited by Nessa Glen for piccolo obligato, 2 clarinets, 2 horns, 2 bassoon, serpent (SAR 0133)

Excerpts from accompanying notes and commentary
by Nessa Glenn:

“Nothing is known about William Godfrey. He may have been a band master for one of the English volunteer regiments. The Thrush is his only composition. However, this is an interesting piece both for the solo use of the piccolo and for its being one of very few England Harmoniemusik pieces from the French Revolution and the Napoleonic periods that was a piece of program music rather than a march.” by Nessa Glen
