Program Notes
This essential edition of the Grainger march features a freshly engraved full score and parts meticulously edited by Joseph Kreines. All the charm and wit of Grainger's music is preserved in this tour de force!
-Program note from publisher.
Grainger composed this march as a birthday gift for his mother in 1905, basing it on melodies and musical material from a Scottish "border ballad". The poem celebrates a bloody skirmish between two clans in 1593. In the march, Grainger sought to express the dare-deviltry of the cattle-raiding, swashbuckling English and Scottish "borderers" of the period as portrayed in collections of border ballads of the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries.
