ECS Publishing Handel In The Strand - Grainger - Concert Band - Gr. 5
Composer: Percy Grainger
From the composer's own notes:
My title was originally Clog Dance. But my dear friend William Gair Rathbone (to whom the piece is dedicated) suggested the title "Handel in the Strand", because the music seemed to reflect both Handel and English musical comedy (the "Strand" is the home of London musical comedy). At various points I have made use of matter from some variations of mine on Handel's "Harmonious Blacksmith" tune.
