Lincolnshire Posy: UMD Wind Ensemble - November 2017
Lincolnshire Posy, the iconoclast composer Percy Grainger's seminal work for winds, is a suite of what the composer termed "musical wildflowers," his own unorthodox arrangement of folk tunes collected from rural English singers. Later, Jules Strens' Danse Funambulesque gives a musical depiction of the death-defying feats of a high-wire artist.
