As with many titles in the series, Shepherd's Hey exists in multiple arrangements - "dished-up" by the composer himself.

While renowned for his imaginative folk-music settings, Grainger also composed a larger number of original works in a folk-music style. "Mock Morris," in the style of an Engiish morris dance, was one of the first of these to be published.

This is the first version (RMTB 1), composed in 1910, scored for an ensemble of string sextet (or string orchestra). The score offered here is a newly edited and engraved edition...
