Five Folksongs and a Frock Coat: Study score

Serenissima Music, Incorporated

Percy Grainger, like his contemporary Bela Bartok, was intensely interested in folk music and became a member of the English Folk-Song Society soon after his arrival in London in the first decade of the 20th century. He produced numerous works based upon folk music from the British isles, with more than 45 items in his "British Folk-Music Settings" alone. As with many titles in the series, Shepherd's Hey exists in multiple arrangements - "dished-up" by the composer himself. The first version (BFMS 3), composed between 1908-11, was for an ensemble of 12 players. The present orchestral ("full band" in Grainger's parlace) setting was produced two years later and published as No.16. This new, convenient-sized study score is a digitally restored reissue of the 1913 score first published in London by Schott & Co. In contrast to so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is actually readable. As with all PLP scores a percentage of each sale is donated to the amazing online archive of free music scores and recordings, IMSLP - Petrucci Music Library.

The first version (BFMS 3), composed between 1908-11, was for an ensemble of 12 players. The present orchestral ("full band" in Grainger's parlance) setting was produced two years later and published as No.16. Grainger's 1913 score was a "compressed full score" which did not precisely notate each part in detail as a conventional full score does. The score offered here is a newly edited and engraved edition prepared by Richard W. Sargeant Jr. based upon both the original 1913 score and the actual orchestral parts issued at the same time. Those interested in Grainger's unique orchestrational palette can now see in it full detail.

While renowned for his imaginative folk-music settings, Grainger also composed a larger number of original works in folk-music style. Mock Morris, in the style of an Engiish morris dance, was one of the first of these to be published. As with many of his British Folk-Music settings, Mock Morris exists in multiple arrangements - "dished-up" by the composer himself as part of his own "Room-Music Tit-Bits" series. This is the first version (RMTB 1), composed in 1910, scored for an ensemble of string sextet (or string orchestra). The score offered here is a newly edited and engraved edition prepared by Richard W. Sargeant Jr. based upon both the original 1910 score and the actual parts issued at the same time. Those interested in Grainger's unique compositional style can now see in it full detail.

He produced numerous works based upon folk music from the British isles, with more than 45 items in his "British Folk-Music Settings" alone. As with many titles in the series, Molly on the Shore exists in multiple arrangements - "dished-up" by the composer himself. The first version (BFMS 1), composed in 1907, was for string quartet, followed up with arrangements for violin and piano (1907) and orchestra (1914). The present band setting was done around 1920 and published as No.23. Grainger's 1920 score was a "compressed full score" which did not precisely notate each part in detail as a conventional full score does. The score offered here is a newly edited and engraved edition prepared by Richard W. Sargeant Jr. based upon both the original 1920 score and the actual band parts issued at the same time.

Grainger's extraordinary work, subtitled "music to an imaginary ballet", was prompted by a request from the English conductor Thomas Beecham to compose a ballet score for the Diaghilev company. The commission never materialized, but Grainger nevertheless proceeded to create a his most adventuresome work to date - employing a large orchestra with an expanded percussion section and three pianos, requiring three conductors for coordination. The world premiere for the now imaginary ballet took place in December 1919, with the composer on a piano plus the Chicago Symphony conducted by Frederick Stock. The new, digitally-enhanced study score offered here has been reproduced from the "compressed full score" issued in early 1920s under the composer's name by B. Schott's Sohne, Mainz.
