BIOGRAPHICAL/ARTISTIC VIGNETTES, continued GO BACK TO PREVIOUS PAGE GRAINGER SONGS AND FOLKSONG "I have always found Percy's folksong arrangements marvellously moving and apt. Brigg Fair, Six Dukes, The Pretty Maid, Shallow Brown are great songs. You may criticize him that he found them as simple unaccompanied folksongs and turned them into Grainger pieces. Maybe, but his ears and imagination are so true, and his sympathy so strong, that what has had to be done to them to make them concert-songs has proved, as created by him, triumphantly successful. "Grainger began writing songs seriously when he was a student at Frankfurt. His first Kipling setting, Soldier Soldier , dates from May 16, 1898, a few weeks before his sixteenth birthday. Using poems by Kipling, Longfellow, Burns and others he composed a half dozen songs for voice and piano in that year and another ten in 1899. Three of these later appeared in print: Anchor Song, Song of Autumn

Zimmermann, Bernd Alois Percy Aldridge Grainger Percy Aldridge Grainger was born on 8 July 1882 in Brighton, Victoria (Australia), to the renowned architect John H. Grainger. His musical talent showed when he was only a young boy. Aged twelve, he went on his first concert tour as a pianist. In 1895, he travelled to Europe where he studied piano and composition at the Dr. Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt for four years. Between 1901 and 1914 he lived in London, where he gradually gained fame as a composer and piano virtuoso. His co-operation with Schott started in 1911, when the increasing recognition of his works manifested itself through performances in London Queen’s Hall and the Aeolien Hall, for instance. In these days his friendship with the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg developed. Grieg’s devotion to the music of his country inspired Grainger to occupy himself with English folk music. With a phonograph he collected numerous examples of English folk music, which he later linked into his own compositions. Also, in these days, his close friendships with composers like Frederic Delius, Cyril Scott or with personalities of English music life like Herman Sanby and Balfour Gardiner developed. In 1914, Grainger and his mother moved to the United States, where he lived until his death. Although he always saw and called himself an Australian, he became an American citizen and, for a short time, a member of the US Army Bands.
