Wildflowers: An Afternoon with Percy Grainger

at Unknown

Percy Grainger is the Lone Star Wind Orchestra’s focus at the Eisemann Center on Sunday, April 27, 2014 at 2:30pm. Grainger was one of the most influential composer-pianists of the 20th century, and under the direction of Music Director Eugene Corporon, the Lone Star Wind Orchestra celebrates the composer’s contributions to the wind band. The LSWO is thrilled to have the Irving Chorale under Artistic Director Harry Wooten performing a number of works for choir and wind band including Grainger's Marching Song of Democracy, Irish Tune from Country Derry, Lads of Wamphray, and Children’s March: Over the Hills and Far Away. The program features the masterwork Lincolnshire Posy along with the composer’s Molly on the Shore and “The Gumsuckers” March. Additional Concert Notes: This concert presents a rare opportunity to hear many of Percy Grainger’s works for choir and wind band including a combined performance of the final movement of Lincolnshire Posy, "The Lost Lady Found," and the original folksongs sung before each movement. With the Lone Star Wind Orchestra and the Irving Chorale, this program features two TACA grant award recipients.
