| Description: |
In Percy Aldridge Grainger's orchestral piece 'Colonial Song', a famous folk song is given sumptuous form. Rising into the sky, the large and widely arching melody carries away the audience. More and more new peaks form a monumental musical mountain range beside which the spoken word pales. This music is both splendid and heartfelt, heart-warming and touching. Listening to it will make the audience shiver.
