Encore Wind Ensemble
Jerry Luckhardt, Conductor
This performance will be centered on the music of Percy Grainger. This Australian born composer left an indelible mark on band music in Europe and America. His innovative approaches to instrumentation and scoring propelled band repertoire equal in expression to the symphony orchestra. We honor Percy Grainger’s contribution to the wind band by performing several of his hallmark works, including Children’s March, Colonial Song, Country Gardens, Handel in the Strand, Irish Tune from County Derry, Lincolnshire Posy, Mock Morris, Molly on the Shore, The Immovable Do, Ye Banks and Braes O’Bonnie Doon, and Shepherd’s Hey.
