Two British Folk Songs

In this episode of Band BFFs, we break down Two British Folk Songs by Elliot Del Borgo — a staple grade 2 piece known for its beautiful contrast between lyrical and energetic styles. We share what makes this piece rewarding and challenging: exposed woodwind features, complex ensemble balance, and detailed phrasing across both movements. It’s a rich learning experience for bands with developing musicianship and a love for expressive storytelling through music.
