GRAINGER, PERCY

Handel in the Strand

 Originally entitled Clog Dance, Percy Grainger changed the name to Handel in the Strand at the suggestion of his close friend William Gair Rathbone, (to whom the piece is dedicated) because the music seemed to reflect both Handel and English musical comedy.  The work is meant to reflect “jovial old Handel…careening down the Strand…(the street that is the home of London musical comedy)…to the strains of modern English popular music.”
