My life is instantly better knowing that Grainger called violas "middle-fiddles"

[@zmhmusic]

Arguably the best of grainger’s miniature “trifle” type pieces- much better than country gardens imo

[@skylarlimex]

wow just listen to the change in texture just by using solo strings at 0:16 such a subtle orchestration trick.

The first time I’ve heard the orchestral version of SH. I’ve only ever known the wind band version.

I"m definitely used to the wind band transciption with the North Texas Wind Symphony, but this is dope performance here! Thanks for sharing!

[@Woofrie]

Have you heard the marine band play it?

[@ultradmann2367]

@@Woofrie Yeah, it's a excellent performance and reference recording.

I never would’ve thought to see dci when I was listen to band music, and yes an English folk song suite is an amazing show

[@soutteruk1]

Grainger was a racist who wanted to expunge non-nordic/germanic-derived words from English.
