Mock Morris, RMTB 1

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 digitally restored reissue on the one published in 1911 by Schott & Co., Ltd. of London.
