Search the ABC ABC Home Radio Television ... Transcripts :: Percy Grainger Print Email Percy Grainger Broadcast 6.30pm on 09/02/2004 Percy Grainger Percy Grainger, made famous by 'Country Gardens', comes to loath it because no one pays attention to what he thought was his more important work. This story fills the screen with images and sounds of the life of a one-hit wonder of the early 1900s. GEORGE NEGUS: In the musical world, our own Percy Grainger was one of the most celebrated pianists of his generation. He enjoyed spectacular success in the UK and the US. And his umpteen compositions included the likes of the famous 'Country Gardens' - probably best known these days because it's used to sell, of all things, frozen vegies. Folk song collector, electronic music pioneer, sexual liberationist and fitness fanatic, Sir Percy, one of the country's genuine one-offs, died in 1961. FOOTAGE OF PERCY GRAINGER PLAYING 'COUNTRY GARDENS' ON PIANO BARRY OULD, HISTORIAN: Grainger was one of the foremost concert pianists of the 20th century. He had to earn his living as a pianist because he had an ill mother. She had syphilis and she became very ill at times. And he...he...he promised her that he'd look after her. And, of course, he came to fame through a little piece he'd been given in 1908 called 'Country Gardens'. He was a musical pioneer in the art of collecting folk songs. WARREN BURT, COMPOSER: He did this all over the world, not just in northern Europe. He also went to New Zealand, through the Pacific. I believe there were trips to the remoter places of North America. So he was very involved in collecting folk songs from many places, what we now call a sensibility of world music.

G GRAINGER, PERCY BIOGRAPHY The Australian pianist and composer Percy Grainger, an eccentric figure, may seem of marginal importance. Nevertheless he wrote a number of works that continue to give considerable pleasure, as do some of the remarkable arrangements that he devised. He became a friend of Grieg and of Delius and took a strong interest in the active collection of folk-songs. He gave particular attention to the creation of music not bound by the traditional restraints of form and harmony. In 1918 he became an American citizen. Instrumental Music Grainger's original instrumental music includes the delightful Handel in the Strand, intended for piano trio, piano quartet or string orchestra, and Mock Morris, for either string sextet or violin and piano, or again in arrangements for string or full orchestra. Harvest Hymn appears in various chamber or orchestral arrangements, while Walking Tune remains in its original wind quintet form. Folk-song arrangements for various groups of instruments, sometimes idiosyncratically described as with elastic scoring, include Early One Morning, Green Bushes, Molly on the Shore, Ye Banks and Braes and Shepherd's Hey. Some of these were also arranged for large wind ensemble. Vocal Music Grainger wrote some original songs and choral music as well as solo and choral arrangements of folk-songs. These include the Irish Tune from County Derry, also arranged for wind band, Brigg Fair for tenor and chorus and The Men of Harlech for double chorus and drums.

Percy Grainger - A Brief Biographical Background Grainger (c. 1922) Born George Percy Grainger, Grainger was born on 8 July 1882 at Brighton, Victoria. His father, John H. Grainger , was a well-known architect whose designs included the Princes Bridge in Melbourne. Quite precocious at an early age, Percy made his first concert tour when he was twelve. Soon afterwards, he went to Germany with his mother Rose to further his training as a pianist and composer. Between 1901 and 1914, Percy and his mother lived in London where his talents flourished. During this time, Colonial Song and Mock Morris were published. In these years he befriended the Norwegian composer, Edvard Grieg, whose love of national music inspired Percy to look closely at English folk music. With the aid of a phonograph, Percy collected songs from folk-singers and from these made many famous arrangements from these. His friendships with many Scandinavian and English musical figures (Herman Sandby, Delius, Cyril Scott, Balfour Gardiner) developed during this period. In 1914, Grainger moved to America, where he lived for the rest of his life. He became an American citizen (although he always described himself as Australian) and during a brief spell in the U.S. Army Bands, he "dished-up" (as he put it) the
