Percy Aldridge Grainger: Zanzibar Boat Song: Concert Band: Score

Percy Grainger composed this work for 6 hands at one piano in 1902 and subsequently he began a version for percussion ensemble which was never completed. Using sketches of this incomplete arrangement Preston Hazzard has created a unique settingfor concert band. The transparent and delicate lilting nature of the original work comes through in this appealing arrangement for winds and percussion.
