Identify the exact title first

The scores are not all headed simply The Willow Tree. One is titled The Willow Tree / The Templehouse Reel, and another The Weeping Willow Tree. The slash in the first title links two names, but the available information does not confirm whether this means a medley, a paired set or an alternative title. Read the full title and the opening bars before assuming two listings are the same piece.

Use key and metre to separate the settings

The listed scores open in different tonalities and metres: D major in 2/2 for The Willow Tree / The Templehouse Reel, G major in 6/8 for The Weeping Willow Tree, and D minor in 4/4 for one score titled The Willow Tree. These details describe the beginning of each score, not the whole piece, and they do not prove that the scores are versions of one composition. Use them as a quick check when matching a score to a performance or to another copy.

Choose a version by musical fit, not by assumed difficulty

No available information gives a grade, difficulty level or instrumentation for these scores, so avoid choosing on the assumption that one is easier. Instead, match the opening key and metre to the version you need. If you are playing with others, use their key and metre; if you are reading alone, choose the setting whose key signature and time signature you can read most comfortably.

Check the score before making historical claims

No composer, date or origin is named for these scores. The title The Templehouse Reel contains the word reel, but that alone does not verify the genre or historical background. Check the score's own heading and credits, and consult an authoritative reference before attributing the piece or describing its history.

The slash joins two names, but the available information does not confirm whether the score is a medley, a paired set or a single tune with an alternative title.

How do the scores listed as The Willow Tree differ?

The scores listed as The Willow Tree differ at their openings: one begins in D major in 2/2, another in G major in 6/8, and another in D minor in 4/4. Those details describe only the opening key and metre of each score. They do not establish that the scores are versions of the same composition or that the rest of the music matches.

Is The Weeping Willow Tree the same piece as The Willow Tree?

The titles differ, and the associated scores open in different keys and metres—G major 6/8 for The Weeping Willow Tree and D minor 4/4 for one score titled The Willow Tree—so compare the music itself before treating them as variants.

Which key should I choose for The Willow Tree?

Among the versions grouped under The Willow Tree, opening keys and metres include D major 2/2, G major 6/8 and D minor 4/4. Choose the setting that matches the version you need.

Who composed The Willow Tree?

Composer attribution is absent from the listed scores for The Willow Tree; no composer is named for The Willow Tree, The Willow Tree / The Templehouse Reel or The Weeping Willow Tree. An authoritative attribution would need to come from the score's own credit or another reference, so avoid naming a composer from the title alone.
