Many band arrangers seek to capture the essence of Percy Grainger; especially with his usage of \u201ctuneful\u201d percussion and keyboards. This collection is a fine mixture of Grainger\u2019s genius; whether it be skillful arrangements made by others, Grainger\u2019s own masterful transcriptions (Chosen Gems for Winds) or original works. New to most listeners would be Bell Piece (based on a John Dowland song), the Six-part Fantasy and Air No. 1 (William Lawes), Down Longford Way (Katharine Parker) and Ballade Op. 38 No.1-Folk tune (Eugene Goossens). While listening to this recording one will marvel at the incredible sonority of the Royal Norwegian Band. No instrumental detail is ignored, whether it is the bass woodwinds, mallet percussion, Swiss hand bells. Hammond organ, etc. An absolute treasure for all to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bandworld.org\/musiclips\/Grainger GraingerCountryGardens.mp3\">Listen to recording<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Percy Grainger Album Title: PERCY GRAINGER: COMPLETE WORKS FOR WIND BAND VOLUME 1 Recording: Royal Norwegian Navy Band Conductor: Bjarte Engeset Soloists: Marius Roth Christensen -tenor Lt.
