Exploring the Life and Music of Percy Grainger Through Transcription

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

<p>The purpose of this lecture recital was to demonstrate how Percy Grainger’s life affected his compositional works and arrangements, as well as the stylistic choices made in my transcriptions of his music. This was achieved through a discussion of the different occupations that Percy Grainger had throughout his life, such as a pianist, composer, and ethnomusicologist. In addition, the lecture included an analysis of five pieces by Percy Grainger: <em>Country Gardens, Eastern Intermezzo, Mock Morris, Spoon River, and Handel in the Strand</em>. Transcriptions of these pieces were performed and comparisons were made to Percy Grainger’s original scores.</p>
