Nominated for Best Classical CD at the 2001 Aria
Awards!
It took musicians about 60 years to realise the beautiful
possibilities of the Saxophone family. How long will it be before
the rich quality of the percussion section will be used in
full?
So said the ever before-his-time Percy Grainger in 1926. The
famous Australian composer's life-long fascination with
percussion instruments began in Paris in 1900 when he was
inspired by the sonorities and clear tones of the Balinese and
Javanese gong orchestras. Later he turned to designing his own
unique 'tuneful' percussion, including a set of staff bells and a
steel marimba, which he deposited in his Melbourne museum in the
mid 1930s.
Rarely used since and never before recorded, these instruments
now take centre stage on this new recording of Grainger's
complete music for percussion. With the assistance of the
Grainger Museum and some recently discovered manuscripts, the
Woof! percussion quartet presents a most unusual and authentic
listening experience.
