Country Gardens (C/B) Percy Aldridge Grainger / Arr. Brant Karrick

English Folk Song / arr. for piano by Percy Grainger / ed. and orch. Brant Karrick

Grainger's first piano arrangement of this English morris dance tune was completed in 1918 as a birthday gift for his mother. It became extremely popular and was his greatest commercial and financial success. Even this simple tune displays his genius with harmony, counterpoint, and color. This very playable arrangement is an excellent way to introduce your students to the music of Percy Grainger! (2:10)
