Lincolnshire Posy is a musical composition by Percy Aldridge Grainger for concert band commissioned in 1937 by the American Bandmasters Association. Considered by John Bird, the author of Grainger's biography, to be his masterpiece, the 16-minute-long work has six movements, each adapted from folk songs that Grainger had collected on a 1905–1906 trip to Lincolnshire, England.

In a similar fashion to these folk songs, many of the movements are in strophic form.


This is my arrangement of 2 mvts: No.II "Harkstow Grange" and No.VI. "The Lost Lady Found"

Arranged symphonic wind dectet (double wind quintet) and bass

No.II Harkstow Grange  (alternate spelling "Horkstow Grange")

In strophic form, in the concert band version the theme is stated by the clarinets and horns at the opening of the movement. Shifting between 44 and 54 time, the movement features a cornet solo, which is often substituted with soprano saxophone.

In my version the opening solo is given to one horn, and cornet solo is played on the oboe

No.VI The Lost Lady Found

A lilting 3/4 melody in strophic form. As the tempo is too fast for the conductor to gesture each beat of every measure, the movement is typically conducted "in 1" where each gesture given by the conductor indicates a full measure instead of each beat. Every section of the ensemble states the theme at some point in the movement.
