Sleeve Notes and Texts

The Duke of Marlborough Fanfare

Percy Grainger was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1882. By the age of twelve he was giving solo recitals on his piano. He studied composition in Frankfurt and became a pupil of Busoni. Completing his studies, he moved to England, and in 1904 met the folk song collector Lucy E. Broadwood, who fired his imagination for the English folk song. He collected many such songs in Lincolnshire between 1904 and 1908, some of these to be used years later in a Suite for Military Band entitled A Lincolnshire Posy. The Duke of Marlborough Fanfare depicts war; the first session war in the past, the second war in the present.

A Lincolnshire Posy

Percy Grainger: “Dedicated to the singers who sang so sweetly to me.”

(See also John Roberts & Tony Barrand’s album Heartoutbursts: English Folksongs collected by Percy Grainger which contains most of the songs from Grainger’s A Lincolnshire Posy)

Horkstow Grange

From the singing of George Gouldthorpe of Goxhill, North Lincolnshire, collected 1905

Herman Heijerman’s 1900 play The Good Hope is based on the true story of a Dutch fishing community whose men were sent to sea in a rotten boat. It was a campaigning play that led to a change in Dutch law. Lee Hall’s 2001 version of The Good Hope transposes the action to turn-of-the-century Whitby, but the issues it deals with seem urgently contemporary.
