Grainger for Choirs (Chapter 4);
Towards a Universal Language: Grainger and Early Music, Grainger and World Music (Chapter 6)
The chapters ‘Grainger for Choirs’ and ‘Towards a Universal Language’, from The New Percy Grainger Companion (Woodbridge: Boydell Press, 2010) represent two aspects of musicological research about Grainger’s compositional work from the perspective of performance practice. The chapters are intended to supply readers with a detailed understanding of the context, performance history and practical considerations of Grainger’s works, particularly where such information has been previously unavailable. Jackson is the sole author for Chapter 3, ‘Grainger for Choirs’, and authored the introduction and the section headed ‘Grainger and world music’ for Chapter 6, ‘Towards a Universal Language’.
