Assisting Artists: Mrs, Ella Grainger; Dr. V. E. Galway (grand organ); Max Scherek (piano); Mrs, H. C. Campbell (soprano) ; Dorothy Stentiford (contralto); J. E. Davies (tenor); F. G. Taplin (baritone); J. Deans Ritchie (bass). . The Orchestra of the Dunedin Orchestra] Society (conductor: T. Vernon Griffiths). The Dunedin Choral Society Madrigal Club (conductor: Alfred Walmsley). 1. Orchestra, with piano and organ, "Green Bushes," Passacaglia on an English folk song, conducted by the composer. This composition is a strict passacaglia--for the folk-tune never stops from the beginning to the end of the work, and around it are woven numerous counter-melodies and contrasting elements. One of the countér-melodies . (carrying its whole harmonic background with it) is heard suecessively in BE) flat, B flat and I* major, while the "Green Bushes" tune hammers away persistently in Ff. This is. possible because of the harmonically neutral mode (I mixolydian) in which the folk-tune is cast. 2. Piano solo: Perey Grainger; (a) "The Hunter in Uis Career" 18th Century Hunting Song. The words of the last verse of this song show its rollicking mood: ‘Thus he careers, over hills, over meers, Over deeps, over down, over: clay; Till he hath won tbe noon from the morn, The evening from the day.

’ His sport’ then ‘he ends’ and joyfully wernds _ ’ Home’ again to his cottage, where . Frankly he feasts himself and his guests, ; And earouses in his career, (b). "Now, O Now, I Needs Must. Part.’ .A free ramble by. Grainger on Dowland’s air for voice and lute, Dowland, an Irishman (1562-1625), was one of the finest lutenists of his age, and one of the greatest song writers of all time. (ec) "Country Gardens," English Morris Dance’ Tune. This tune is one of the most played by those. "teams" of Morris Men (decked out with jingling bells, ribbons, and other finery), whose existence, in rural England, was not guessed in artistic circles, before the discoveries of Cecil J. Sharp. 3. Choir: (a) "Recessional" for Choir and: Organ (Rudyard Kipling); (bj) "The Merry Wedding." Bridal song for five solo voices, half-choir, full choir and orchestra. Conducted by- the composer. This is a setting ofa traditional text from the Faeroe Islands (lying between . the Shetlands and Iceland, peopled by Scandinavians that settled the islands in Viking times), No traditional tunes are used in the music, however, 4, Solo Piano, Tuneful Peroussion. and Orchestra, (a) "Handel in the Strand," Clog Dance for iano and String Orchestra. : "My ‘title to this piece was originally ‘Clog Danee,’ but my dear friend, William Gair Rathbone (to whom the ‘piece is dedicated) suggested the title ‘Handel in the Strand,’ because the musie seemed ‘to reflect both Handel and‘ English musical comedy (the Strand is the home of -London musical comedy), ‘as -if jovial old Handel were careering down the Strand to the strains of modern English popular music. In bars 1-24 (and their repetitions) I have made use of matter from’ unfinished variations ‘of mine on Handel’s ‘Harmonious -Blacksmith’ tune."-Percy. Grainger. . ‘(b) "Blithe Bells," for Tuneful Percussion and ‘Orchestra. (Aluminium marimba: Ella Grainger). A free ramble by Grainger on Bach’s aria, "Sheep May Graze in Safety when a Goodly Shepherd Watches .o’er Them." It is coloured by. the thought that Bach, in writing the melody in. thirds that opens and closes the composition, may have aimed at. giving some hint of the.sound of sheep bells, "(e) "Spoon River." A eri‘can "oll dance, set for orches-

tra, (Xylophone, marimba, chime bells: ' Ella Grainger.) .,2he composer at the piano. A Captain Charles H. .Robinson heard:a. tune called "Spoon River" played by a rustic fiddler at a country ‘dance at Bradford, Illinois (U.S.A.), in 1857. When Da.gar. Lee Masters’s "Spoon ‘River Anthology" appeared in 1914, Captain Robinson (then nearly 90 years old)’ was struck by the likeness of the two titles-that of the old ‘tuhe atid that of the poem-book-and he setit the "Spoon . River" tune to Masters, who ‘passed it onto me, The tune is very archaic in character; typically American, yet altin _to certain Scottish snd Bnglish dance-tune typés. My "setting aims at preserving a _ pioneer ‘blend "of. lonesome wistfulness and’ sturdy perSistence. It bears the following dedication: "For. Wdgar Lee Masters, Poet of Pidneers. "-Perey Grainger. 5.

Grainger. . Conductor: Vernon Griffiths. ' One of my: earliest musical recollections ‘js of falling asleep while my mother sang Stephen Foster’s ‘song, ‘"Doodah" ("de Camptown- Races") tome. Wishing to give musi\cal expression’ to these Australian memories and to. my deep admiration for’ Foster's genius, I wrote-this choral work (around 1912), in which the "Doodah" tune is treited asa dance-tune (with Foster's original words) and as a lullaby (with doggerel verses of my own). In the lullaby séction musica] glasses are used because of their humming, drowsy . , sonority.-Perey Grainger, %. Orchestra: (a) "Trish Tune from County Derry." Set for String Orchestra.
