  • Lincolnshire Posy Abbig
    A Historical and Analytical Research on the Development of Percy Grainger’s Wind Ensemble Masterpiece: Lincolnshire Posy Abbigail Ramsey Stephen F. Austin State University, Department of Music Graduate Research Conference 2021 Dr. David Campo, Advisor April 13, 2021 Ramsey 1 Introduction Percy Grainger’s Lincolnshire Posy has become a staple of wind ensemble repertoire and is a work most professional wind ensembles have performed. Lincolnshire Posy was composed in 1937, during a time when the wind band repertoire was not as developed as other performance media. During his travels to Lincolnshire, England during the early 20th century, Grainger became intrigued by the musical culture and was inspired to musically portray the unique qualities of the locals that shared their narrative ballads through song. While Grainger’s collection efforts occurred in the early 1900s, Lincolnshire Posy did not come to fruition until it was commissioned by the American Bandmasters Association for their 1937 convention. Grainger’s later relationship with Frederick Fennell and Fennell’s subsequent creation of the Eastman Wind Ensemble in 1952 led to the increased popularity of Lincolnshire Posy. The unique instrumentation and unprecedented performance ability of the group allowed a larger audience access to this masterwork. Fennell and his ensemble’s new approach to wind band performance allowed complex literature like Lincolnshire Posy to be properly performed and contributed to establishing wind band as a respected performance medium within the greater musical community. Percy Grainger: Biography Percy Aldridge Grainger was an Australian-born composer, pianist, ethnomusicologist, and concert band saxophone virtuoso born on July 8, 1882 in Brighton, Victoria, Australia and died February 20, 1961 in White Plains, New York.1 Grainger was the only child of John Harry Grainger, a successful traveling architect, and Rose Annie Grainger, a self-taught pianist.

  • Essential Excerpts for Tuba from Original Works Written for Wind Ensemble
    HARVEY, BRENT MEADOWS, D.M.A. Essential Excerpts for Tuba from Original Works Written for Wind Ensemble. (2007) Directed by Dr. Dennis W. AsKew. 54 pp. The need for a standard course of study to assist in preparing students for military band auditions is apparent due to the current number of tuba positions in premier military service band organizations. This examination of Essential Excerpts for Tuba from Original Works Written for Wind Ensemble is intended to be an important document in the field of tuba performance and teaching for practice, preparation, and study of the original wind symphony literature written for tuba. The excerpts included in this text are selected based on a general survey created by the author. The Tuba Excerpt Survey, completed by retired and current premier military service band tuba players and select college and university tuba professors, generated a standard list of excerpts that produced the desired information that finalized the specified essential tuba excerpts to be included and reviewed in this document. By setting performance boundaries, inspecting the musical details of the excerpts, and separating an undergraduate curriculum into appropriate levels of study, a classification and distribution of the found scores and excerpts among different levels is established in this text. Upon examination of these excerpts, additional methodologies and corollary studies have been integrated into the paper to further facilitate student practice and preparation of these essential excerpts for tuba among original

  • WIND SYMPHONY Featuring Members of the Texas State Choirs
    WIND SYMPHONY featuring members of the Texas State Choirs Caroline Beatty, conductor Chase Failing, graduate student conductor Evans Auditorium | Presented Online Monday November 23, 2020 | 7:30pm PROGRAM VARIATIONS ON "AMERICA" Charles Ives OF OUR NEW DAY BEGUN Omar Thomas LINCOLNSHIRE POSY Percy Grainger NOTES As we may be affected in numerous ways by the world-wide pandemic and local mitigations, we are more potently mindful of the privilege of performing music together and of the community created in joining with others in that endeavor. We are destined to listen, provide support, sing out, allow, take turns, and so much more - all while knowing we are singular parts to something bigger and more meaningful. We reflect upon those valuable features of ensemble music-making in the repertoire of this concert. It is through listening and hearing people’s stories we gain empathy and understanding and can further meaningful conversation to foster the beauty of compassion and gratitude. And through the sharing of song, stories, and anthems we give of ourselves and celebrate community. Variations on ‘America’ (1891) by Charles Ives began as this quintessentially quirky American composer’s contribution to pipe organ repertoire when a prodigious seventeen-year-old. The tune Ives manipulates in his variations is widely known in the United States as “America” or “My Country 'Tis of Thee” and functions as an unoff icial anthem. However, it has an even broader history of being used as catalyst for community as it is used for Britain’s “God Save The Queen” as well as for anthems in Norway, Germany, Russia, Switzerland, and Lichtenstein.

  • Thomas Carl Slattery-The Wind Music of Percy Aldridge Grainger Ann Arbor: University Microfilms (UM Order No
    Thomas Carl Slattery-The Wind Music of Percy Aldridge Grainger Ann Arbor: University Microfilms (UM order no. 67-9104, 1967. 265 pp., The University ofIowa diss.) David S. Josephson [Ed. Note,' This is the second in a series of writings conceived by Prof. Josephson as an essay in bibliography, seeking to provide the foundation for a thorough and broadly-based study of the life and music of Percy Grainger. The first essay, "Percy Grainger: Country Gardens and Other Curses," can be found in Current Musicology 15 (1973): 56-63.] Percy Grainger composed and arranged music for winds from virtually the beginning to the end of his creative life. The fruits of these labors are the subject, at first glance, of the dissertation under review. In fact, however, Thomas Slattery's thesis is more than a study of the wind music: in both scope and length it is the first major attempt to deal with Grainger's life and work. The wind music provides an apt vehicle, for its remarkable range of idiom, genre, and intention allows us to explore the gamut of Grainger's productive life from almost every angle; the finest exemplars of this repertory reveal most immediately his striking ear and fastidious craftsmanship. In- deed, Grainger's largest essay for winds, Lincolnshire Posy, is a handbook of band orchestration and arguably the most idiomatic and sensitive composi- tion ever written for large wind ensemble. The table of contents reveals both the scale of Dr. Slattery's investigation and its cogent organization. The six chapters include an extended biblio- graphical summary; music for wind band; the chamber music for, with, and arranged for winds; Grainger's wind scoring; his innovations; and a sum- mary of sources.
