PERCY ALDRIDGE GRAINGER
Back to Shepherd's Hey
Percy Grainger was born in Brighton, Australia near Melbourne on July 8, 1882. His father was an architect who designed the Princes Bridge in Melbourne. When he was twelve, he made his first concert tour. It was obvious that he had musical talent, so in 1895 he and his mother moved to Germany where he attended Frankfurt's Hoch Conservatoire. In 1901 they moved on to London where he gained much fame as a concert pianist and composer. It was during these years in London that Grainger befriended the Norwegian composer, Edvard Grieg , whose love of national music inspired Percy to study English folk music. Using a phonograph, Percy was the first collector of English folk songs. He collected over 500 examples to form the basis of his British Folk Music Setting, which includes "Country Gardens" and "Shepherd's Hey". A month after World War I broke out he and his mother moved to America where he became a US citizen and married a Swedish poet named Ella Viola Strom. At the end of a busy and hectic life, Grainger died at White Plains, New York on February 20, 1961 and is buried in Adelaide, South Australia. Grainger in his early years regarded himself primarily as a choral composer, creating arrangements of fold music. Later however, he composed and arranged his most famous works for wind band, including the Lincolnshire Posy and The Warriors.

Percy Grainger
Folk Song Settings
Percy Grainger is seen by many people as essentially a composer of trivial, inconsequential pieces. However, although he was always a miniaturist, many of his works transcend their form. He was also prepared to go in new directions, and composed much experimental music, including music which used microtones, and one piece written for a group of theremins, which he arranged for strings, written entirely in glissandos. He was a person who raised eccentricity to an art form, and his biography, by John Bird, reads like a work of fiction. He was, among other things, a racialist, but typically, took this so far it became totally removed from the real world, and incidentally revealed the ludicrousness at the heart of racialism. He once refused to sign a lucrative contract, because he didn't trust the other party, who had brown eyes! He tried to expunge his language of all Mediterranean influence, and in the end his communications became so obtuse that his letters need to be translated. In his scores, there are no Italian words - you don't find 'crescendo', you find 'louden' or 'louden lots'. He didn't arrange works, they were 'dished up'. And for him, a pianist was a 'tuned-hammer-string-player'. The excerpt is from a piano duet, a little-known arrangement of a Faroe Island tune, 'Let's Dance Gay in Green Meadows'. Indeed, it was omitted from a recent edition of the 'complete' piano music. The same tune occurs in Nielsen's 'An Imaginary Trip to the Faroe Islands'. The tuned-hammer-string-players are Benjamin Britten and Viola Tunnard. The CD is from London, is entitled 'Salute to Percy Grainger', and contains a wide selection of songs, orchestral pieces and choral arrangements. The number is 425 159-2 LM.

Ronald Stevenson
Composer-Pianist
A memoir: 2
Ronald began composing in 1943, during his mid-teens. Since then he's completed around a thousand movements, settings or arrangements, ranging from the gigantic to the aphoristic, passacaglia to album-leaf, orchestra, chamber ensemble and voice to clarsach, highland bagpipes and free-bass accordion. 38% of this output is for piano (original works, cadenzas, transcriptions, folksong settings); 35% is vocal (including chorus); and 15% comprises transcriptions for other media. The emphasis on vocal music is significant: I remember Ronald's wife, Marjorie, once enlightening me by saying that the clue to understanding her husband lay more through his songs than his piano pieces. Combined, the body of transcriptions and folksong arrangements adds up to around 39% of Ronald's activity over the years, indicative of the importance he places in such work. RS defines the piano as 'the Romantic instrument par excellence . It still is. Art is Romantic when it suggests a reality larger than itself. That is why the piano is the Romantic instrument; for it suggests the orchestra. It is the only instrument that can.' To it he has confessed his most intimate, his most public thoughts. Through it he has suggested the symphonic, imagined the orchestral, essayed the abstract, the descriptive, the worldly; he has dreamt dreams miniature and monumental. His piano music is real piano music. It grows out of the instrument, it is not imposed on it. Inventively, he's a man of variation, fantasy and fugue more than sonata - to adapt his description of MacDiarmid (1962), 'an apocalyptic ragman among contemporary composers,' seizing 'any and every fragment of fact and fantasy' before emptying his ragbag 'in a niagaran spate of music.'

Juli 1882 in Brighton, Victoria (Australien) als Sohn des bekannten Architekten John H. Grainger geboren. Schon sehr früh wurde sein musikalisches Talent deutlich. Mit zwölf Jahren unternahm er seine erste Konzerttournee als Pianist; 1895 ging er nach Europa und studierte vier Jahre am Dr. Hoch'schen Konservatorium in Frankfurt am Main, um seine Ausbildung als Pianist und Komponist zu vervollständigen. Zwischen 1901 und 1914 lebte er mit seiner Mutter in London, wo sein Ruf als Klaviervirtuose und Komponist sich stetig festigte. Seine Zusammenarbeit mit dem Schott-Verlag begann 1911, zu einer Zeit, als die steigende Anerkennung seines kompositorischen Schaffens sich unter anderem in Aufführungen seiner Werke in der Londoner Queen's Hall und der Aeolien Hall dokumentierte. In diesen Jahren entwickelte sich eine Freundschaft zu dem norwegischen Komponisten Edvard Grieg, dessen Liebe zur Musik seiner Heimat Grainger zu einer intensiven Beschäftigung mit englischer Volksmusik inspirierte. Er sammelte mit Hilfe eines Phonographen zahlreiche Beispiele englischer Folk Music, die er dann später in eigenen Kompositionen verarbeitete. Auch seine enge Freundschaft mit Komponisten wie Frederic Delius, Cyril Scott oder mit Persönlichkeiten des englischen Musiklebens wie Herman Sandby und Balfour Gardiner begann zu dieser Zeit.

http://home.hetnet.nl/~percygrainger/biografie1.htm
Percy Aldridge Grainger werd als George Percy Grainger geboren op 8 juli 1882 in het toen nog ruige Brighton, Melbourne, Australië. Hij was het enigst kind van John Harry Grainger, een Londense architect, en Rose Annie Aldridge, het achtste kind van een hotelierfamilie uit Adelaide, Zuid-Australië. Zijn formele schoolperiode duurde nog geen drie maanden. Zijn klasgenootjes waren zeer ruw tegen hem en scholden hem uit vanwege zijn uiterlijk. Eens zag hij hen een dier mishandelen, en prompt weigerde Percy nog langer naar school te gaan. Zijn moeder Rose nam de verantwoordelijkheid voor zijn opleiding over. Naast Engels, vreemde talen, geschiedenis, kunstgeschiedenis en rekenen studeerde Percy elke dag twee uur lang piano, met zijn moeder aan zijn zijde. Dit stramien begon op vijfjarige leeftijd en duurde tot zijn tiende. John Grainger was een man van aanzien en alom gerespecteerd als architect. Hij hield van muziek en in zijn vrije tijd schilderde hij. Hij was echter verslaafd aan alcohol. Dit botste met Rose’s onafhankelijke persoonlijkheid en resulteerde meer dan eens in gewelddadige ruzies. Een keer zat Rose hem met een paardenzweep door het huis achterna. Hun huwelijk sneuvelde definitief toen Rose ontdekte dat ze syfilis van John had gekregen. In 1891 werd hem geadviseerd wegens gezondheidsredenen naar Londen te verhuizen. Hij liet zijn kind en ex-vrouw achter in Australië. De band tussen Rose en Percy werd dieper en

Book Review PERCY GRAINGER
By By John Bird
Purchase from: Amazon UK
For a full review of this book, located on Classical Music on the Web, click here . I would add for film music and film enthusiasts that Bird tells us that - "Between April 17 and 23, 1921, Percy Grainger became the first pianist of international fame to play at a moving picture theatre. This took place at the Capitol Theatre (New York), which at that time was the largest cinema in the world, capable of seating almost five and a half thousand people. Grainger played to capacity audiences four times a day and the highlight of each performance was a rendering of the first movement of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto which he played alternately with the Duo-Art piano roll being fed through the Steinway he was using." We also learn that "through the late twenties and early thirties onwards, his diaries show that he had become an ardent film-goer;. His favourite film stars seem to have been: Marlene Dietrich, Ginger Rogers and Ingrid Bergman. Amongst his students were Bernard Herrmann and Morton Gould. "They treated him as a friend rather than as a representative of the stuffy academic establishment. Grainger did not place orchestration examples before them; instead he allowed them to choose their own pieces and gave them advice where and when needed. Herrmann, for instance, decided to orchestrate MacDowell's 'Celtic' Sonata and felt the need to employ the sonorities of a tenor tuba. Grainger knew little of this unusual instrument, so together they familiarised themselves with it and found suitable moments for its inclusion."

A few years ago we were invited to take part in a weekend festival in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where the School of Music at Salem College was hosting a festival honoring the memory of Percy Grainger. Participants included Frederick Fennell, founder and former director of the Eastman School of Music Wind Ensemble, a longtime popularizer of Grainger1s compositions; Stewart Manville, archivist of the Percy Grainger Library in White Plains, New York; Nigel Coxe, a concert pianist with an all-Grainger recording among his credits; and Barbara Lister-Sink, also a pianist, and Dean of the Salem College School of Music. Our role was to present a program of some of the folksongs Grainger collected in England during the early 1900s, many of which he subsequently used in his own arrangements and compositions. This recording is an extension of that project. Grainger espoused the cause of English folksong with his characteristic energetic enthusiasm. Along with Frank Kidson and Lucy Broadwood, both folksong collectors and stalwarts of the Folk Song Society, he attended the North Lincolnshire Musical Competition Festival of 1905 in the market town of Brigg. Among the events was a folksong competition won by Joseph Taylor, who was to become the best of Grainger's source singers. Grainger noted a number of songs in Brigg, some of which were published in the next issue of the
