Wildflowers

'The Lost Lady Found' is the final most conservative setting of Grainger's 'musical wildflowers' masterpiece for band 'Lincolnshire Posy'. Developing bands can now play an ideal adaptation of this classic band repertiore.Johnnie's careful scoring eliminates some of the extreme range demands of the original yet is extremely accurate in retaining Grainger's magnificent compositional genius throughout. This work of merit is a must for every concertband library!

Using melodic fragments from each of the six movements of Percy Grainger's Lincolnshire Posy as foils for each other Steven Bryant has created a unique and brash experiment in musical juxtaposition! Grainger described his work asa bouquet of musical “wildflowers ” and Bryant describes “ImPercynations” as a “genetically-altered crossbred hybrid offspring...a musical Franken-flower”. An unconventional gem. (duration:ca. 5:15)

Cottonwood Falls draws its inspiration from the Great Plains of Oklahoma and Kansas' Flint Hills. A faster rhythmically active theme depicts the myriad wildflowers and teeming wildlife in this landscape. Contrasting against this is a longer more legato theme which invokes the rolling expansive prairie and wide starry skies of the country. (Grade 2)

Meadow is an installation for any performers – singers instrumentalists of any type – and requires large numbers (minimum 20). It should be performed without musical score although the text to be spoken may be printed on a piece of card that can be held in the hand by performers. In addition each performer will require a coloured tissue paper ‘butterfly’ as detailed in the score. The performers populate a sonic wildflower meadow constantly varied in detail but unchanging in overall texture. They collectively produce a highly variegated quiet ‘hum’ – a dense but delicate weave of sound that may riseonly a little above the ambient sound of the performance space revealing its intricacies only to those listening close-up. Meadow was designed to work as a pop-up performance within a large multipurpose public space though a relatively quiet environment is necessary. Performers work independently from each other. The whole group should be quite densely clustered close together but one or more paths through the performer ‘meadow’ should be left. The audience should be able to walk among around and through the performance as much as possible.
