Lincolnshire Posy Fennell ed.

Author: k_boi

Hello everyone!

I play B-flat clarinet in a community college band. We recently played Grainger's Lincolnshire Posy (which is now one of my favorite wind ensemble pieces). But anyway, I have a question.

We played the original Grainger edition and not the Fennell one that seems to be more common. So I was wondering if there are any important differences between the two? I think I heard somewhere that Rufford Park Poachers doesn't have A and B versions in the Fennell edition, but that's all I know.

From what I know of the work, Grainger composed/arranged several settings: yes to "A" and "B" versions of "Rufford Park Poachers" plus one for piano duet. As well, he penned settings of mvts. "Lisbon" for WW Quartet and "The Lost Lady Found" for Choir and String Orchestra.

The Fennell edition was published in 1987 and became a band standard partly due to the Grainger estate failing to renew the copyright in 1968 and releasing it for public consumption. More, Grainger was a U.S. citizen so Lincolnshire is/was not eligible for restoration under the copyright law: GATT/TRIPS provision. v/r Ken
