Summary
In this episode of the Breve Music Podcast, host Jermaine Harris discusses the influential Australian composer Percy Grainger, born in July 1882 and passed away in February 1961. Grainger is best known for his piano arrangement of the folk song “Country Gardens,” but Jermaine highlights pieces like “Irish Tune from County Derry” and “Lincolnshire Posy” as significant works in the band repertoire. Reflecting on his personal experiences, Jermaine shares his journey through a “heavy Grainger phase” during high school and college, where he frequently listened to Grainger’s music, particularly the album “Immovable Do” by the Dallas Wind Symphony. He appreciates Grainger’s unique writing style and orchestration, which often combines piano with various ensembles, allowing listeners to enjoy the rich textures of his compositions. Harris invites listeners to share their thoughts on Grainger and their favorite pieces.
