Lincolnshire Posy is a musical composition by Percy Aldridge Grainger for concert band commissioned in 1937 by the American Bandmasters Association. Considered by John Bird, the author of Grainger's biography, to be his masterpiece, the 16-minute-long work has six movements, each adapted from folk songs that Grainger had collected on a 1905–1906 trip to Lincolnshire, England.
In a similar fashion to these folk songs, many of the movements are in strophic form.
This is my arrangement of mvt. No.II "Harkstow Grange" (alternate spelling "Horkstow Grange")
In strophic form, in the concert band version the theme is stated by the clarinets and horns at the opening of the movement. Shifting between 44 and 54 time, the movement features a cornet solo, which is often substituted with soprano saxophone.
In my version the opening solo is given to the horn, accompanied by the lower brass.
The cornet solo is played by the 2nd tpt muted.
It is in the original key.
