21 October 2023
Percy Grainger's "Irish Tune from County Derry" is a timeless composition based on a traditional Irish melody collected by Miss J. Ross. Originally an a cappella piece, Grainger's orchestral and military band arrangements showcase his exceptional understanding of instrumental voicing, creating a rich, blended sound. This enduring work is celebrated for its colourful sonorities, accessible nature, and a memorable climax that has solidified its place in the wind band repertoire.
