from An Analysis of Haydn Wood’s Mannin Veen as It Relates to Manx Folk Songs and Legends From the Isle of Man
Haley Armstrong
Mannin Veen, “Dear Isle of Man”: A Manx Tone Poem was originally written by Haydn Wood (1933) for orchestra and published by Boosey and Hawks in 1933. The BBC orchestra premiered the work in 1933 (Scowcroft, 1977). In 1936, Boosey and Hawkes published a transcription of this work for wind band by James William Duthoit. Duthoit was born in England in 1885 and from 1938 to 1964 became chief arranger for the Chappell Army Journal. Duthoit was a well-known arranger for wind band who was published under the pseudonyms W.J. Duthoit and W.J. Dawson. Sir William Walton’s Crown Imperial March is Duthoit’s most well-known
arrangement, although he transcribed hundreds of orchestral, Broadway, and popular works for band. Many of his arrangements, including Mannin Veen, were originally published with only the composer’s name on the scores and parts, these works so often are not credited to him (Rehrig, 1991).
