The large cast iron wood-and-coal-burning stove dominates the end of the room. In the background to the left is the dark wooden door to a pantry; on the right is the door into the foyer. (Photo by Pamela Tucker). Percy and Ella's kitchen is cozy and old-fashioned, with one end dominated by its cast-iron stove. (The latter is superseded for modern everyday use by a microwave oven.) The back door, opening onto a small back porch, was used by Percy and Ella as a shortcut when going into town. A secret stairway leads from the opposite corner of the kitchen to the second floor, where it exits from an anonymous-looking door next to the main staircase, doubtless a reminder of the days when every well-to-do family had servants. Inez Bull, singer, pianist, and interpreter of Percy Grainger's music, reminisces thus about the kitchen as the hospitality center of the house: "There was the wood burning stove at the right wall as you entered Ella's kitchen, and a wooden table neatly set near the back door wall. A long wooden counter was always piled high with lots and lots of Swedish goodiesespecially the delicate cookies and the

Extractions: Joseph Taylor of Saxby-All Saints, Lincolnshire - b. 1832 approximately - was considered by Percy Grainger, the Australian pianist, composer and folk song collector, to be the finest folk singer that he had the opportunity to record. The two men first met in April 1905 where Percy Grainger travelled to the small market town of Brigg Four competitors duly entered and the first prize of 10 shillings and sixpence was won by Joseph Taylor, age 72, with his song Creeping Jane ; second prize (5 shillings) was won by 85-year old Mr W. Hilton of Keelby with Come All You Merry Ploughboys , while third prize (two shillings and sixpence) was carried off by Dean Robinson of Scawby with T'owd Yowe Wi' One Horn Grainger and his companion Lucy Broadwood noted eight other songs on that occasion, including two short verses of Brigg Fair from Joseph Taylor, being all that the singer could recall. Grainger's handwritten notation of both Creeping Jane and Brigg Fair are reproduced in the accompanying booklet to the 1972 Leader album Unto Brigg Fair , where Grainger notes that Creeping Jane Grainger visited Brigg again in August 1905 to collect more songs, and in the meantime set several of them (including

Zimmermann, Bernd Alois Percy Aldridge Grainger wurde am 8. Juli 1882 in Brighton, Victoria (Australien) als Sohn des bekannten Architekten John H. Grainger geboren. Schon sehr früh wurde sein musikalisches Talent deutlich. Mit zwölf Jahren unternahm er seine erste Konzerttournee als Pianist; 1895 ging er nach Europa und studierte vier Jahre am Dr. Hoch'schen Konservatorium in Frankfurt am Main, um seine Ausbildung als Pianist und Komponist zu vervollständigen. Zwischen 1901 und 1914 lebte er mit seiner Mutter in London, wo sein Ruf als Klaviervirtuose und Komponist sich stetig festigte. Seine Zusammenarbeit mit dem Schott-Verlag begann 1911, zu einer Zeit, als die steigende Anerkennung seines kompositorischen Schaffens sich unter anderem in Aufführungen seiner Werke in der Londoner Queen's Hall und der Aeolien Hall dokumentierte. In diesen Jahren entwickelte sich eine Freundschaft zu dem norwegischen Komponisten Edvard Grieg, dessen Liebe zur Musik seiner Heimat Grainger zu einer intensiven Beschäftigung mit englischer Volksmusik inspirierte. Er sammelte mit Hilfe eines Phonographen zahlreiche Beispiele englischer Folk Music, die er dann später in eigenen Kompositionen verarbeitete. Auch seine enge Freundschaft mit Komponisten wie Frederic Delius, Cyril Scott oder mit Persönlichkeiten des englischen Musiklebens wie Herman Sandby und Balfour Gardiner begann zu dieser Zeit.

Extractions: A few years ago we were invited to take part in a weekend festival in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where the School of Music at Salem College was hosting a festival honoring the memory of Percy Grainger. Participants included Frederick Fennell, founder and former director of the Eastman School of Music Wind Ensemble, a longtime popularizer of Grainger1s compositions; Stewart Manville, archivist of the Percy Grainger Library in White Plains, New York; Nigel Coxe, a concert pianist with an all-Grainger recording among his credits; and Barbara Lister-Sink, also a pianist, and Dean of the Salem College School of Music. Our role was to present a program of some of the folksongs Grainger collected in England during the early 1900s, many of which he subsequently used in his own arrangements and compositions. This recording is an extension of that project. Grainger espoused the cause of English folksong with his characteristic energetic enthusiasm. Along with Frank Kidson and Lucy Broadwood, both folksong collectors and stalwarts of the Folk Song Society, he attended the North Lincolnshire Musical Competition Festival of 1905 in the market town of Brigg. Among the events was a folksong competition won by Joseph Taylor, who was to become the best of Grainger's source singers. Grainger noted a number of songs in Brigg, some of which were published in the next issue of the

Extractions: Shepherd's Hey Percy Grainger Amanda Myers Percy Grainger was born in 1882 in Melbourne, Australia. In his childhood years he was taught by his mother, who is the main player in one of the many rumors about the composer. It is said that Grainger had been incestuously in love with his mother. After studying piano with Louis Pabst in his native Australia Grainger attended the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt from 1895-1899 in which he studied composition with Knorr and the piano with Kwast. He then settled in London as a concert pianist with which he toured extensively. After joining the English Folk Song Society Grainger began working on the collection British Folk-music Settings Grainger had important relationships with Grieg and Delius as well. By 1905 Percy Grainger was performing his own music and secured his reputation as a composer. In 1914 Grainger sailed for America and took up residence, becoming a citizen after a period in the US Army as a bandsman. He toured North America, Europe, South Africa and Australia on several occasions, setting up the Grainger Museum on the grounds of Melbourne University in the 1930's. In 1928 he married the Swedish poet and artist Ella Viola Strom.
