(1901)
Percy Grainger, composer
Percy Grainger considered folk singers the "kings and queens of
songlords in their own domainat once performers and creators."
It was for the wind band that Grainger made some of his most memorable folk
song settings, several of which are now cornerstones of band repertoire.
Ye Banks and Braes O’ Bonnie Doon is a slow, sustained Scottish folk
song.
Grainger’s original setting of this was done in 1901 for "men’s chorus and
whistlers," and the present version for band was published in the same
year.
