Molly on the Shore - Percy Grainger - Chamber Strings - Sydney Youth Orchestra - SYO
Molly on the Shore by Percy Grainger. Chamber Strings Orchestra conducted by Nick Tester. syo.com.au
Molly on the Shore is a composition of Percy Aldridge Grainger. It is an arrangement of two contrasting Irish reels, Temple Hill and Molly on the Shore that present the melodies in a variety of textures and orchestrations, giving each section of the band long stretches of thematic and counter melodic material.
Molly on the Shore was written in 1907 by Grainger as a birthday gift for his mother.
Originally composed for string quartet or string orchestra, this piece was arranged in 1920 for wind band by the composer, as well as for orchestra.
In a letter, Percy Grainger wrote In setting Molly on the Shore, I strove to imbue the accompanying parts that made up the harmonic texture with a melodic character not too unlike that of the underlying reel tune. Melody seems to me to provide music with initiative, whereas rhythm appears to me to exert an enslaving influence. For that reason I have tried to avoid regular rhythmic domination in my music - always excepting irregular rhythms, such as those of Gregorian Chant, which seem to me to make for freedom. Equally with melody, I prize discordant harmony, because of the emotional and compassionate sway it exerts
George Percy Grainger (8 July 1882 to 20 February 1961) was an Australian born composer, and pianist, who worked under the stage name of Percy Aldridge Grainger. Percy Grainger was born in Brighton, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia.
Father - His father John Harry Grainger was a successful and talented architect who grew up in France and was educated in a monastery school in Yvetot. He emigrated from London, England in 1876. John Grainger's business partner and best friend was David Mitchell, the father of Nellie Melba.
Mother - Percy Grainger's mother, Rose (née Rosa Annie Aldridge; 3 July 1861 to 30 April 1922). Percy Grainger's mother was domineering and possessive, although cultured.
Youth - A striking individual with blue eyes and brilliant orange hair, Percy gave his first public performance at the age of 12, and critics hailed him as a new prodigy.
Education - Percy was educated at home, except for three months' formal schooling as a 12-year-old, during which he was bullied and ridiculed by his classmates. His mother Rose, supervised his music and literature studies and engaged other tutors for languages, art and drama. From his earliest lessons Percy developed a lifelong fascination with Nordic culture; writing late in life he maintained that the Icelandic Saga of Grettir the Strong was the strongest single artistic influence on my life. As well as showing precocious musical talents, he displayed considerable early gifts as an artist, to the extent that his tutors thought his future might lie in art rather than music. At the age of 10 he began studying piano under Louis Pabst, a German emigré then considered to be Melbourne's leading piano teacher. Grainger excelled in languages and his correspondence shows he was fluent in 11 foreign languages including Icelandic and Russian
Relocation - Grainger moved to the United States at the outbreak of World War I in 1914. In 1917 he enlisted into a United States Army band, playing the oboe and soprano saxophone, giving dozens of concerts in aid of War Bonds, Liberty Loans and the American Red Cross. In 1917 he was elected an honorary member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia music fraternity. In 1918, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States.
Career Success - By 1925, Grainger was financially secure. He was now earning $5,000 (2007:$58,692) a week for performances and charging up to $200 (2007:$2,348) an hour for private lessons. In 1932, he became Dean of Music at New York University, and underscored his reputation as an experimenter by putting jazz on the syllabus and inviting Duke Ellington as a guest lecturer. Twice he was offered honorary doctorates of music, but turned them down, explaining, I feel that my music must be regarded as a product of non education.
Marriage - In November 1926, Grainger met the Swedish artist and poet Ella Viola Ström, and fell in love at first sight. Their wedding took place on 9 August 1928 on the stage of the Hollywood Bowl, following a concert before an audience of 20,000, with an orchestra of 126 musicians and an A Cappella choir, which sang his new composition, To A Nordic Princess, dedicated to Ella.
