I cried as I played it in high school, and I still cry when I hear it. I love this piece of art.

@alanslife1 I'm listening to this at work, and had to shut the door halfway as tears started to spring up in my eyes. Beautiful piece.

@pythonfan84 Interesting! I attend college in Virginia.

@crunkcymbals09 Hey I'm from another one of the 13 colonies, but mine (Virginia) is quite farther south. This piece is amazing. I wish my high school band would and/or could play this piece. I know that our last director was crazy about Grainger.

So beautiful to hear. I'm from Massachusetts one of the original 13 colonies!

@alanslife1 I can assure you that it's for a great reason.

His house is about a twenty minute drive from me. Might try to get an appointment to see the place.

This is a really oddly orchestrated arrangement. A large part of what makes Grainger's Colonial Song so great is the extremely precise orchestration. I mean, the orchestra sounds great, but I'd really like to hear it in the "original" 1918 arrangement. I say original...but I mean the last of several that Grainger did himself.

i argree 100% with having the original copy but this is the only version I had. I'm sorry that I don't have the original wind band copy. Once I find it i'll be sure to put it up! sorry to disappoint you!
