Lincolnshire Posy for Wind Quintet - II. Horkstow Grange

Percy Grainger wrote "Lincolnshire Posy," a widely-acclaimed masterpiece that has become a cornerstone work for concert band. Premiered in 1937, the 16-minute long suite has six movements and contains adaptations of folk songs that Grainger had collected when he was in Lincolnshire, England between 1905 and 1906. "Horkstow Grange" is a beautiful and expansive movement. The wind quintet will do well in this movement with a warm and longing expression. This is a very well-known movement and well-regarded in the wind band repertoire.
