Catalogue of Works Barry Peter Ould In preparing this catalogue, I am indebted to Thomas Slattery (The Instrumentalist 1974), Teresa Balough (University of Western Australia 1975), Kay Dreyfus (University of Mel- bourne 1978–95) and David Tall (London 1982) for their original pioneering work in cata- loguing Grainger’s music.1 My ongoing research as archivist to the Percy Grainger Society (UK) has built on those references, and they have greatly helped both in producing cata- logues for the Society and in my work as a music publisher. The Catalogue of Works for this volume lists all Grainger’s original compositions, settings and versions, as well as his arrangements of music by other composers. The many arrangements of Grainger’s music by others are not included, but details may be obtained by contacting the Percy Grainger Society.2 Works in the process of being edited are marked ‡.

Further sub-divisions of groups are given in the usual way, using standard nomenclature, with an asterisk prefixed to indicate an optional instrument. For example, the woodwind section, scored thus (piccolo ∙ flute ∙ oboe ∙ cor anglais ∙ *bass oboe ∙ *E-flat clarinet ∙ clari- net ∙ *alto clarinet ∙ bass clarinet ∙ bassoon ∙ double bassoon) is listed as (piccolo ∙ 1 ∙ 1 ∙ cor anglais ∙ *bass oboe ∙ *E-flat clarinet ∙ 1 ∙ *alto clarinet ∙ bass clarinet ∙ 1 ∙ double bassoon). Alternative instruments are given in brackets, following the preferred instruments, thus : O(H) indicates organ, or harmonium in lieu. Similarly, alternatives used in later compositions are : for trumpets , soprano saxophones (s) ; for horns, alto saxophones (a) ; for trombones, tenor saxophones (t) ; for bassoons, baritone saxophones (β). Other substitutes are possible (e.g. cornets for trumpets). For full details, consult the appropriate score. Optional numbers of instruments are indicated within parentheses : e.g. 4(2) indicates 4 instruments, of which 2 are optional (usually parts 3 and 4). In some cases these are shown with #, indicating which number of part is optional : e.g. 4(#1#3) indicates 4 instruments, of which nos. 1 and 3 are optional. Additional players and instruments The notation P² indicates 2 players at 1 piano, whilst 2P or PP indicates 2 pianos with 1 player each. A plus sign following an instrument code (A+) indicates that the instruments may be massed : in this case the harp part. New Grainger Companion.indb 250 27.10.2010 17:08 Catalogue of Works · 251 Elastic scoring Works with elastic scoring (a Grainger device, allowing for greater flexibility of instrumen- tation) are denoted by a dagger (†). Earlier scores, for instance Mock Morris or Molly on the Shore, published as being for theatre orchestra, in fact have many possible instrumen- tal permutations. These are elastically scored in all but name. Room-music Grainger used this term for ensembles with one player to a part, up to twenty-four players. Choral works S = soprano, mS = mezzo-soprano, A = contralto, T = tenor, β = baritone, B = bass Capital letters indicate solo ; small letters indicate chorus (satβb) ; a letter with a small number after it indicates the number of divisions within the basic part : e.g. s²s² indicates two soprano lines of which each is divided, whilst s²a²t²b² indicates a eight-part mixed voice chorus. Unison voices are indicated thus : uc = (mixed) unison chorus, um = unison men’s chorus, uw = unison women’s chorus.
