Joplin's 'Weeping Willow' (1903), in common with his other rags written that year, displays a much gentler singing style, with a particularly beautiful third section that may surprise the listener.

This arrangement was specially made for the album 'Preludes, Rags and Cakewalks' (MPR 005), performed by The Symphonic Brass of London conducted by Eric Crees. All of the transcriptions are new and original, making this a world premiere recording.
