Biographical Note
Percy Aldridge Grainger (born George Percy Grainger; 8 July 1882 – 20 February 1961) was an Australian-born composer, arranger and pianist.
Percy first came before the public eye as a pianist at a Risvegliato concert in the Masonic Hall, Melbourne, on 9 July 1894. Various other public performances included three appearances at Walter James Turner's People's Promenade Concerts at the Exhibition Building in October 1894. The boy's 'exceptional talent' was repeatedly noted.
Grainger left Australia at the age of 13 to attend the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt. He completed his studies at the end of 1900, after which he lived in London until 1914. Here he established himself first as a society pianist and later as a concert performer, composer and collector of original folk melodies. During this time he also toured Europe annually, performing throughout Scandinavia, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, and Russia.
In 1914, Grainger moved to the United States, where he lived for the rest of his life, though he travelled widely in Europe and in Australia. He served briefly as a bandsman in the United States Army during the First World War through 1917–18, and took American citizenship in 1918.
Much of his music during this time was published by the firm of G. Schirmer Inc., New York. His record-breaking piano piece Country Gardens, the piece most commonly associated with his name, was published by Schirmer's in 1919.
Grainger returned to Australia in 1934-35, touring for the Australian Broadcasting Commission. Income from this tour established the 'Music Museum and Grainger Museum' in the grounds of the University of Melbourne.
The last decade of Grainger's life was shadowed by illness, and he underwent major surgery several times. Overwhelmed by a sense of his failure as a serious composer, his habit of bitter introversion intensified. Despite these inhibitions he continued his work, visiting Australia and his museum for the last time in 1955-56 and giving his last public concert performance on 29 April 1960. He died of cancer in the White Plains hospital on 20 February 1961. His remains were brought to Australia for burial in the Aldridge family grave in Adelaide, where his mother was also buried.
These papers were given to the University of Adelaide by Percy's wife, Ella Grainger, after the Grainger Museum refused to display his skeleton as part of the collection.
