Country Gardens for Symphonic Band

• Grainger, Percy Aldridge

• Rogers, R. Mark
• Schmid, Adolf/ Rogers, R. Mark

One of Grainger’s most popular piano encores was improvisations on English Morris Dance tunes that he programmed as COUNTRY GARDENS. Adolf Schmid’s 1925 orchestration displays many features that bear witness to his deep knowledge of Percy Grainger’s orchestral palette, making it ideal for symphonic wind band adaptation. Grainger’s mature concept of the wind band is seen in CHILDREN’S MARCH, LINCOLNSHIRE POSY, and LADS OF WAMPHRAY. With this knowledge in hand, Mark Rogers has created a wind-band scoring (appearing for the first time with full score) that should delight conductors looking for a concise introduction into the world of Percy Grainger.­
