George Butterworth (1885 - 1916) was an English classical composer. He was killed by a snipers bullet on the Somme in the Great War and his music is based on English folk songs of which 'The Banks of Green Willow' is my one of my favourite.
The track below is performed by the Academy of St.Martin-in-the-Fields conducted by Neville Marriner.
