Mock Morris, Rmtb 1: Study Score

While renowned for his imaginative folk-music settings, Grainger also composed a larger number of original works in a folk-music style. Mock Morris, in the style of an Engiish morris dance, was one of the first of these to be published. As with many of his British Folk-Music settings, Mock Morris exists in multiple arrangements - "dished-up" by the composer himself as part of his own "Room-Music Tit-Bits" series. This is the first version (RMTB 1), composed in 1910, scored for an ensemble of string sextet (or string orchestra). The score offered here is a newly edited and engraved edition prepared by Richard W. Sargeant Jr. based upon both the original 1910 score and the actual parts issued at the same time. Those interested in Grainger's unique compositional style can now see in it full detail.
