Info for Grainger: Lincolnshire Posy

This album showcases the wind band music of Percy Grainger, including favorites Lincolnshire Posy and Danny Boy (Irish Tune from County Derry). Australia considers Grainger its greatest composer; the U.S., where he lived most of his life, praises him as a music educator, composer and arranger of band music; and England considers him supremely important in the preservation and arrangement of British folk songs.

Grainger's gems are performed to perfection by America's only full-time professional wind band, conducted by Jerry Junkin. Grainger specified many unusual, optional, instruments, and this recording has them all. Hear these 'original instrument' performances in the spectacular sonics captured by Reference Recordings' world-renowned team of engineer Keith Johnson and producer Tam Henderson.

In just a few years, The Dallas Wind Symphony has become 'our nation's premiere permanent wind ensemble' (Fanfare). There's nothing quite like the sound of a large-scale wind and percussion ensemble at full force. You'll be blown away!

“played with appropriate gusto but also, where required, delicacy of spirit by the Dallas Wind Symphony under Jerry Junkin.” (MusicWeb International)
