Tis The Last Rose

It is often thought that this melody came from the Victorian era, when Irish songs were very popular, however, this Air was first published in 1813 and has been adapted and arranged by many composers and arrangers over the years. This arrangement, as a Flugel Horn solo, by Gary Westwood is a new treatment and shows off this tender and wistful love song. This work has recently been recorded on the CD 'East Coast Pictures' by the Leyland Band, with soloist Shelley Ball, and is available from this site (catalogue number: 0-571-52109-6).
