Product details
In 1900 Percy Grainger (then about 18) arranged some Scottish Folksongs for voice and piano after a holiday in Scotland, including the Skye Boat Song. As this arrangement is hardly known, I have sought to make it better known by expanding it in a version for concert band and optional voices. The first half of this new arrangement is entirely as Grainger wrote it (harmonies, suspensions etc.), apart from the change in scoring. There follows some new material with canons and key-shifts before a majestic finale.
