Description

Composed by Percy Aldridge Grainger (1882-1961) in 1910 originally for 2 pianos, MOCK MORRIS has been arranged for various ensembles, many of them by Grainger himself. Delightfully upbeat and lively, this Grainger classic arranged for either string orchestra or a 6-7 string chamber ensemble in 1911 will lighten up any performance and provide a bit of musical history at the same time. Written in the style of a morris dance, it is completely original and was inspired by the motto “always merry and bright,”which may be the best way to describe it.It moves along at a brisk pace, surprisingly rhythmic and tuneful, and the light, jaunty style will stand out on any program. Instrumentation: String Orchestra (3 Vn parts and 2 Vc parts: 6-5.5-5-3.3-5) or 6-7 strings: 3 Vn.Va.2 Vc.DB(opt.).
