Description

What goes into the making of a creative genius and how can their gifts be used to help uplift humankind?

These were questions that led the Australian/American pianist, composer, and music educator Percy Aldridge Grainger (1882-1961) to exhaustively document his life, his thoughts, and his associations and establish in the country of his birth a museum dedicated to helping answer those questions.

Grainger was a creative genius who thought more in terms of the future than of the present and was an advocate for the role that music can play in creating a more harmonious and loving future for humankind.

This book is the first attempt to bring together in one volume the details of Grainger's life as they relate to his music using his own words and those of the people who knew him.

It makes use of many heretofore unpublished documents and musical examples and is written in such a way as to be accessible to all while also offering a detailed study of his musical works.
