Lincolnshire Posy is a work of genius. I can't think of a single other work for band, by any composer, to rival it. It's absolutely brilliant. The level of invention, the musical rhetoric, the orchestrational finesse-all the details, as well as the overall effect, are absolutely incredible. It's a joy to play and a joy to listen to.

Australian-American composer, pianist, and folksong collector Percy Grainger was an accomplished pianist and innovative composer. At a young age, Grainger was educated by his mother, Rose, who instilled in him a love for the arts and a heroic outlook on life. Grainger continued his studies at the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt, Germany. In 1901, Grainger and his mother moved on to London. Like Béla Bartók, Percy Grainger was interested in collecting and preserving folk songs. While he lived in London, he traveled around England, collecting and transcribing folk songs. Grainger championed the music of Edvard Grieg and Frederick Delius and worked to establish himself as a pianist before promoting his work as a composer. When he moved to America during the onset of World War I, Grainger served in the United States Army, first playing oboe and soprano saxophone, and then became a bandmaster. During the 1930s, Grainger became more interested in working as an educator working with many amateur, school, college, and community ensembles. He would score his music for these ensembles. This scoring culminated in his most beloved setting of folk music Lincolnshire Posy (1937). Grainger’s innovative scoring and instrumental balance left a vibrant legacy in American Band music written after 1940. Even though Grainger was best known for his compositions based on folk music, he was more interested in developing a form of music that was free from the tonal and rhythmic rules of Western art music. He wanted to create music with pitches that could glide seamlessly from one to the next, to imitate the motion of waves. His first attempt at writing this kind of music was Free Music No. 1 for string quartet. Afterward, he rewrote it for four theremins. Starting in 1945, Grainger worked with a physics teacher, Burnett Cross, to invent and build machines that could perform the 'free music' that Grainger wanted to compose. Together they designed about four different machines. The 'Reed-Box Tone-Tool' and the 'Kangaroo Pouch Tone-Tool' are now in the Grainger Museum in Melbourne, Australia.
The works of Percy Grainger are very diverse, and Grainger often rearranged and recomposed pieces over the course of many years. We therefore list his works alphabetically, with the following information: instrumentation [under construction], duration of work and available recording of the work as part of either 'The Percy Grainger Editon' (Chandos Records) or one of many other Grainger recordings.

About Three Movements from 'Lincolnshire Posy' Long a staple of wind band literature, Lincolnshire Posy has never been set for any other medium. Robert Longfield has crafted this stunning arrangement for strings that has all of the Grainger style and spirit.
