Will You Walk in the Woods so Wild?

$4.00Price

Step into the enchanting world of Renaissance England with "Will You Walk into the Wood so Wild?", a captivating arrangement by Erin Spencer. Originally a popular tune from the 16th century, this melody found its most famous setting in William Byrd's 12 keyboard variations, praised for its delicate, bird-like flourishes. As one admirer remarked, “How daintily this Byrd his notes doth vary, As if he were the Nightingale’s own brother!”

 

In this reimagined version for flute players, you'll not only enjoy playing the expressive arrangement, but you'll also have the chance to make it your own. At the end of the score, space is provided for you to create your own variation! Experiment by adding notes between the melody, incorporating trills, changing the rhythm, or even exploring a new key signature. Let the melody guide you into the wild wood, and see where your creativity takes you!

 

We are proud to announce that this piece received an Honorable Mention for Solo Flute Repertoire in the National Flute Association's 2024 Newly Published Music Competition!

  • A native of Colorado, Erin has been teaching flute and piano for 9 years. For much of that time, she thought she wanted to be a band director, but after teaching private lessons, she realized how much FUN it is and how big of a difference she can make in the lives of her students. She earned her Master's Degree in Flute Performance and her Bachelor's in Music Education at the University of Missouri to be the best flute educator she could be. The left side of Erin's face was paralyzed in 2018. Although it was devastating, having flute taken away reinvigorated her passion for flute, and the process of re-learning to play forced her to find new ways to improve her sound, making her an even better teacher. Erin collects crafts like some people collect stamps: crocheting, cookie and cake decorating, horseback riding, embroidery, board gaming, and more! Her favorite thing about teaching younger students is how much excitement and energy they bring to lessons. Find more about Spencer Music Studio at: www.spencermusicstudio.com
