- Composer: Percy Aldridge Grainger (July 8, 1882 - February 20, 1961)
Orchestra: City of London Sinfonia conducted by Richard Hickox
I accidentally cut out the violin 2 articulations at measure 37. It is the same as the woodwinds.

You can definitely hear a celtic/ folk influence in the piece. You wouldn’t know he was Australian! Love the ending, and the middle, and the beginning, and everything inbetween!
Yes, he and Vaughn Williams were the masters of the English Folk Style
@@osutuba Obviously this is based on Irish folk music, however.
This score is so beautiful && nice to read, very cozy.
My daughters orchestra played this at Blue Lake fine arts camp and they had to learn it in 4 days along with 4 other pieces and I’m amazed
I feel so stupid. When I saw Percy, Grainger, and Molly, I thought this video would be Harry Potter related. I’m going to sit in my box of shame.
I would have clicked on the video regardless! lol
Go
NO ONG HAHAHHA
Ignorance is not shameful, unless you are proud of it, just keep educating yourself. I'm 63 and try to learn something new every day.
One of my favorite Grainger band works! I loved hearing it for orchestra!
I think this is definitely interesting, having only heard the band version - but I still think I prefer the band version
I agree. Needed more saxophone!!
I understand this as the Band version seems to be widely more performed. That said, I prefer this version as the Strings add the extra Folk Sound that I like.. But I like both versions.
It’s so funny because I prefer both band and strings only version over this one, although all of them are amazing
Dude we were gonna play this for orchestra and the violas nearly died
We still have to play it just we have a few months
As a bass I also died
I'm a violist and the back rows of my section were cooked when we played this, my stand partner and I were in the first row, and I took us a while to get the temp 😭(pls note this wasnt recent, in around 8th grade)
Check out the channel for some lesser known Grainger tunes!
Also, I think it is such a shame that common folk don't envision composers like Grainger when they think of "Classical Music"; instead they think of Bach, Mozart, & Beethoven [who are absolute geniuses but can leave people today feeling really disconnected and lost musically]. I find a lot of the early 20th century (especially English) composers create such an inviting musical texture. It was my doorway to appreciating older music.
I just adore this piece
This is so absolutely charming.
I’ve found a new favorite tune
Einer meiner Lieblingskomponisten. Und eine gute Partitur für Dirigenten!
Flashback to when my class played this at our freshman fall concert and bombed
why would that remove one of the best trumpet solos of all time
What trumpet solo? There isn't one in the band version either.
@@Cmaj7 there is, it's doubled by the soprano sax picking up into 59 in the video that you posted of the wind ensemble version.
The harmonization and orchestration choices give me very Donald Grantham vibes, perhaps this influenced a lot of later music.
Yeah, the score is kind of goofy, hard to follow at points... but other than that, this was phenomenal! I always love Grainger's no-nonsense emotive directions as a change of pace. I love the Candid Overture, but I would so rather play a concert cycle with this as the opening tune.
And I recognize my favorable opinion is also partly a result of my viola-playing bias.
Definitely a condensed score, but at least the voicings are clearly marked.
Now only if he wrote his orchestral versions WITH saxophone.
Revelation!!!!
1:28 (practice marker)
Is the large text added by you?
No
Tbh I’m playing the clarinet on this and i find it kinda annoying with my fingers ngl😂
2:41
inaudible.
is this a special reduction score of any sort? Hard to believe this is performance score
A lot of the original scores are condensed iirc
Not really a special reduction, many of Grainger's scores are like this. It is harder to read, especially for a conductor trying to figure out who's playing what, so they aren't well liked.
@@Cmaj7. Eh, after years of doing them, they get really easy. I just wish the standard of split stems was used.
