Performed by the North Texas Wind Symphony

Lincolnshire Posy
I. Lisbon (Sailors Song)

The main theme of the movement is presented first in the muted trumpets and is set against a war-like motif in the horns. Like the fourth movement, this movement ends in a serene, suspended pianissimo that contrasts the general tone of the movement as a whole.

  • Any idea where I can find vocal recordings of the actual folk songs? I know there's a modernized duet that sings it, but I don't know who they are or how to locate the music.

  • @MrLangersmith10 One of the greatest pieces of literature ever composed for band, "disgusting?" Surely you troll, sir.

  • @MrLangersmith10 Wow. Someone had a bad music teacher and an even worse English teacher.

    Not gonna lie, bro: totally cracked up at the way you described Grainger. He wrote masterpieces on the tears and frustration of conductors and musicians alike.

  • @1SquidBoy you have no idea. I'm the only euphonium player and I have to play both parts, flipping pages back and forth isn't fun :(

  • @orangebhuddy29 Percy Grainger. Same man who writes in a measure of rests at the very beginning of all parts of a song, and writes in "Silence" on it. Just a random measure with nothing on it. Troll.

  • My most memorable medley of music from freshman year... :)

  • Who the hell writes a part for euphonium AND baritone horn?!

  • 2 people cant play this :(
