Abstract

Percy Aldridge Grainger (1882-1961) is acknowledged by most wind conductors as a major contributor to the field of wind music. He achieved this distinction through his numerous compositions for varying combinations of wind instruments. Many of his works have become standard repertory pieces for the wind band medium: Lincolnshire Posy. Colonial Song, Irish Tune from County Derry, Molly on the Shore, Children's March, and Country Gardens are but a few. In addition to these standard pieces, Grainger arranged for winds numerous compositions which were originally conceived for another medium.
