Lincolnshire Posy - VI. The Lost Lady Found By Percy Grainger

[ExpansionInsurance]

THis is great. For once, a band, not an orchestra. Wind FTW

[reybrianne]

Just played this as regional PMEA band yeha buddy

[TheAwesomelyKate]

We played this at our last concert(:

[feferocks94]

I play this in band!:D<3

[MasterOfDisguise116]

why is there no thunderous applause at the end of it? isnt that what normally precedes an epic grainger piece? i clapped for it at least...

[MasterOfDisguise116]

1 person couldn't find the lost lady.

[jesuslives2882]

I've learned (from my band teacher) that this song is made from the same folk song as green bushes was!!

[jerkface892]

@flasherrt2

Oh I just didn't really recognize any brass sounds then sorry

[GrandeAdmiral79]

@jerkface892 Umm...Lord Melbourne is like the hugest brass feature, evar...

[elaineweaver12]

it's like a more epic version of green bushes haha

[bigbluedevil132]

BAM!!

[Adrigirl998]

This is so good! I love this song! Our teacher has us playing it.

We call it "the pirate song" :)

[kg003333]

i love playing this!!! Is it in Pirates of the Caribean?

[epicawesome12345]

My 7th and 8th grade band started playing this not too long ago. Its so fun. I love trombone.

[jerkface892]

Has anyone else come to notice that throughout Grainger's pieces, he didn't really write music for the brass players in almost every song from Grainger that I've listened to, there is little brass instrument sounds.

[SirMKhan]

@jerkface892 guess you haven't listened to the 5th movement.

[flasherrt2]

@jerkface892 as a euphonium player i can assure you grainger wrote plenty for brass, in fact there is at least a small brass solo in almost every song he wrote.

[megapown88]

@flasherrt2 i play euphonium too! lol in band right now we're playing country gardens and we have an awesome part

[MasterOfDisguise116]

@megapown88 country gardens is a beast of a song... very chromatic bass lines. Basically, classic grainger.

[jerkface892]

Has anyone else noticed that throughout Grainger's pieces, that he didn't really write music for the brass players, almost every song I've listened to from him has had very little brass. Anyone else notice this??

[bandgeekforever17]

Themes From "Green Bushes", anyone?

[pivotethan1]

when i here this song i cant help waving my hands like a conductor.

[pivotethan1]

my band just started playing this, its a great song

[Agent6472]

This is a great piece to play for your senior year! Im playing bass trombone and it just pops

[jerkface892]

I'm playing this 8th grade year and it's AMAZING!!!! I'm playing trombone part but just to listen to all the wood winds play the cool part is just awesome. TY GRAINGER!!!!

[Maryloohoo2]

Yes Percy Granger rocks!

[orangebhuddy29]

switching from the baritone part to the euphonium part and back isn't fun at all. But this movement is so much fun to play on both, and my favorite.

[summaoheight]

I played this junior year of HS for festival...I SO had the piccolo solo. :D

[coolguy2441]

greenbushes anyone lol

[udayorama]

so fun to play

[tryme688]

i have the sax solo in this movement :)

[gutterfroggy]

@tryme688 me too :))

[starwarsjazz]

One person had to play the contra bassoon part

[tameem56]

I played this in 7th grade

[starwarsjazz]

Bassoons get the melody, WHAT???

[AirmAngel360]

im playing this song in band this year..... grade 9..... then im hoping my mom will allow me to go to honor....to be honest... this song is kinda hard right now..... the student teachers SUCKS at conducting

[gjgjgjaify]

@AirmAngel360 We're playing this song at school too!

[woofwoofmeow2]

I played the Alto Clarinet solo in a simplified version of this song. Best solo ever.

[MrLaufsohle]

I think this song is very very very awesome...we played the lincolnshire posy today in our concert. the athmosphere was unbelievable...

[mlitrus]

I love that last note(s).

[yanpan16]

@MichaelakaMickyFudge percy grainger was australian but this piece is an arrangement of folksongs from lincolnshire in england

[BarlowGirl86]

My band director demonstrated the "dances" Mr. G laid out for the directors... if your ensemble is currently playing this piece and you don't know what I'm talking about, ask your directors.

[ahaili]

Our first read-though, we weren't playing it with enough life so our director said "Don't be unhappy that we found her!"

[Maryloohoo2]

The best part is at 1:25, the sax's rock!

[tromuniapp]

@Maryloohoo2 Nope it's gotta be the bones at 0:38

[SaxiliciousH]

This is my favourite mvt of Lincolnshire Posy and it oddly reminds me of the second mvt of the Dulcie Holland saxophone sonata. Grainger was a god.

[iobeygravity]

Yay for picc solos! :D

[dutsu89]

our school just bought this. best idea ever. its got great clarinet parts all throught

[MrMazerman]

Among my favorites. Anyone have a link to rise before the sun? Font know who it's by.

[Zastrava]

So similar to Themes from Green Bushes

[MrMikeTheShark]

I played the Bass Trombone part for this entire song when my school played it. I may have had a couple orgasms while playing.

[rangersfan85]

FINALLY a band that performs this with a strict recognition of time! It is so much more regal this way. SO many others play by feel. it really destroys the quality when the time fluctuates.

[LilDrummerBoy74]

Classical dubstep. Basically.

[Ma5Spartan]

@LilDrummerBoy74 Woof woof woof, woof woof woof, woof woof woof woof woof woof woo

[browna3112255]

Yo pirates, loved this part

[Nature31]

have i told you already how greatfull i am? I'm in love with Percy Grainger since 1990 when i first played Lincolshire Posy.

His music belogs to the best for wind band in the world !

[mpjmt]

I stood around for five and 3/4 movements to play two lines at the end. Chimes :D

[ThexAxspotxBLOG]

this reminds me of drum major academy conducting lessons. go west chester university :)

heidi sarver is the best!!!

[Amandaaa091]

@ThexAxspotxBLOG DMA was amazing!

[SweetlyDissonant]

@Amandaaa091 Eyes with pride!

[KatGracex3]

so....i play alto clarinet in my band and my director told me to play the solo (around 44) "staccato and legato, and tennuto, slurred, and tongued" i was like Yeah cause that makes SOOO much sense....

[BMS816]

@chasbogatz This movement is in 3/4, but played in 1.

[princeofblckness]

I had the pleasure of playing piccolo for the solo @ :42-:56...

Can't say I did it that good tho

lol

[chasbogatz]

6/8?



[xXinsanity92Xx]

My favourite movement... thanks for this :)

[bananapoopmonster]

I usually dont like classical music.

im a teen, i only listen to pops.

but then my english teacher

shared this song during poetry time...

and this song is stuck in my head.

POP MUSIC? NO!

PERCY GRAINGER MUSIC?! YES FTW!

[freshspringsax]

wow very nice piccolo sound!!

[Maryloohoo2]

A great showcase for this band esp the lower woodwinds and saxes.

[kateriendeau]

as a piccolo player who has played this in concert, i really appreciate this piece. beautiful composition

[mcasdancer9613]

@roselinabonnie1997 that's a piccolo to be all technical (:

[MCRxOWNSxYOURxSOUL]

This is the second year that I'm playing this in band. It's so much fun :3

[rayrayxl3]

@roselinabonnie1997 It was definitely a bass clarinet. To my knowledge, no one has ever used the words "alto clarinet" and "awesome" in the same sentence, except perhaps to say, "The destructive power of the alto clarinet is a force so awesome that it manifests insanity in all who hear it up close."

[dimsimlord]

@rayrayxl3

You'd normally be correct; although Reed's "Russian Christmas Music" makes alto clarinet sound awesome.

[zaurefirem]

@dimsimlord Russian Christmas Music is like...an orgasm of the ears. An ear-gasm. But only when played well.

[punkrockr827]

orgasmic

[punkrockr827]

playing movements 2, 5, and 6 with the North Shore Wind Ensemble this wednesday;  LP is definitely my favorite piece for wind ensemble of all time

[roselinabonnie1997]

What is that instrument that enters alongs with the flutes melody at 0:43???? It sounds awesome.

[punkrockr827]

@roselinabonnie1997 its either an alto clarinet or bass clarinet, i'm not sure which one they used for this recording; and i think thats actually a piccolo instead of a flute

[MCRxOWNSxYOURxSOUL]

@punkrockr827 yeah, we're using a piccolo in our band. SHRILL AS HELL lmao

[fiestapotatoesjv]

way too damn good for your own good. This is the best recording of linconshire that i've heard.

[MCRxOWNSxYOURxSOUL]

@fiestapotatoesjv I agree, it's very good :3

[VenomEmperor]

best movement of the whole piece. and i like the last chord where the trumpets just enter and overlap each other then it all explodes in the end like a bomb.

[xXashlenmerazXx]

awesome

[mpjmt]

YES. This movement contains the only two lines I play in the entire piece :D

GO CHIMES/TUBULAR BELLS

[ClockworkCarnage]

Ahhhhhhh feels good, man.

[Yougotsblounchsked]

1:11 Harry Potter

[ChrisFowskae]

I'm playing this suite. Lincolnshire Posy, such a great suite. Greatly blended. My high school Wind Ensemble, Milwaukee High School Of The Arts, we're pretty good!!!

[KrakatoaCoo]

best ending evar

[roselinabonnie1997]

This songs so pretty it reminds me a renisaunce or some fair. Lovely sound on the french horns

[phoenixman1015]

Of the 15,594 views for this song, I must've been like 12,000+ of them. I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG!!! Listen to it all the time. Love the melody, love the way Granger can portray the melody happily, sad, lovingly, pompously...it's too great!!

[maxwell987]

I playing this song as bass trombone and I can't help to blare towards the end!!

I Love this song!!

[avenged7xguitar]

When they came to old England her uncle to see,

The cart it was under the high gallows tree;

Oh, pardon, oh, pardon, oh, pardon I crave. I'm alive,

I'm alive, your dear life to save.

Then from the high gallows they led him away,

The bells they did ring and the music did play,

Every house in that valley with mirth did resound,

As soon as they heard the lost lady was found.

[zinasays]

We're playing this in my wind ensemble and our band director says to think of 1:50 as the place where the lost lady was found. :P

[ChuckyJesus666]

@zinasays Well, with all due respect to your band director, methinks the section you indicated reflects this:

Then from the high gallows they led him away,

The BELLS they did ring and the music did play,

Every house in that valley with mirth did resound,

As soon as they heard the lost lady was found.

She was found four stanzas earlier....

[suzaku152]

we listened to a quoir version and its funny and cool at the same time

[TheAdvancedMusic]

Not only is this performance of the Posy suit sum'int special, I really appreciate the way it's been recorded! Check out the tone of the ascending Troms at 2.02... a real energy boosting buzz! I can hear details and intonations that make me feel like I'm there.

[musicgirl300]

such a fun song :D

[chickenkeeper01]

We're playing this in MS Band. I'm the Tenor Sax. Love this song :D

[deathboy998]

@chickenkeeper01 your playing this in middle school? :o

[XavierTheTitan]

@deathboy998 I played horkstow in middle school.

[Nowscaric]

i LOVE the tuba part on this it's just amazing towards the end

[TheRat2233]

This movement has always reminded me of "Themes from Greenbushes" with a slightly darker feel.

[PurpleZ3BRA]

we're playing this for concert festival. im playin bari saxxxx woohoo

[JoobyFoo]

played this whole piece back in high school... twas awesome...

[shawnaboo92]

we are playing this for wind ensemble. and at first i hated it,but now listening to it... I LOVE IT!!!!!! I KEEP PICTURING A BALLROOM DANCE TO THIS.

[Skrabb2daLog]

This reminds of nomads wandering through the woods in search of the meaning of life. Or of a lost lady found.

[redsox0915]

I love the G the trumpets get to play whenever they want basically at the end (:

[azoogaazoogaazooga]

@redsox0915 haha I was listening to this while learning my part (Alto Sax 2) and at the end it says this-

*(Start the G# when you please, not strictly with the conductor's beat.)

Grainger's a BAMF. 

[FrenchKittiesofDoom]

@azoogaazoogaazooga i know, i lol'd when i saw that on my part, except because im a trumpet its a c#

[KrakatoaCoo]

1:43 to the end is awesome.

[MagrPwnAge]

its just so catchy....

[DeadAngelofHeaven]

...I respond sexually to this. Straight up.

[ChuckyJesus666]

@DeadAngelofHeaven Pun intended??



[ehelwagen]

I played Lincolnshire Posy when I was a member of the Ohio State University Concert Band. It was a joy to play!!

[dimsimlord]

*puts on pirate outfit and dances*

[deadmenfalls]

this song is epicness in a box

[123jim987]

we played this song at our spring concert... i played first trumpet it was definately one of the funnest and best song i ever played... we also played the 2nd and 5th movements... could you possible find suite on greek love songs?

[7tigerlotus]

Thank you so much for posting! (used to play with North Texas) - if you ever found it and could post "Green Bushes" ; same theme but I love the orchestral setting, would be great :)

[threehorsez]

Thank you whoever took the time to post this. I had been listening to the classic F. Fennell piece for ages, and it's nice to have a pretty darn good version to follow up with that one, which is very hard to find.

[BlasterBone001]

Awesome piece! Grainger is the bomb! Could you try finding Ireland: Of Legend and Lore by Robert W. Smith?

[OoMrBenoO]

Thank you!

The best mov't of the whole piece.
