Percy Grainger, born in Australia and later embracing American citizenship, was a pioneering composer, arranger, and pianist whose innovative spirit left an indelible mark on the world of music. Moving to the United States in 1914, Grainger became a champion of British folk music revival, collecting and arranging folk songs that breathed new life into classical compositions. His most recognizable work, "Country Gardens," is a testament to his ability to blend traditional melodies with modern sensibilities.
Grainger's curiosity extended beyond folk music; he was also an early innovator in the field of music machines, experimenting with electronic music and inventing new musical forms. His eclectic interests included clothing design and social commentary, reflecting a multifaceted personality that was as colorful as his musical output. Despite his controversial personal preferences, Grainger's contributions to music remain celebrated, making him a global star with a lasting legacy. His historic home in White Plains, New York, stands as a testament to his unique vision and enduring influence.
