- Title
Percy Grainger's Hill Songs: A Watershed in Wind Music.
- Authors
Capaldo, Steven J.
- Abstract
The article discusses the concepts and procedures behind the two "Hill-Songs" composed by Percy Grainger. In "Hill Song No.1," the composer says that its main goal was to sound wild and fierce rather than grand or forceful. For the second composition which premiered in March 1913, Grainger used fast, energetic elements. Both songs are said to be based on the thinking that no thematic or melodious material is repeated, except the immediate repetition within a phrase.
