Duration 4 minutes, 48 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-2091-75. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-2091-75). Here are two of Grainger's most poetic and richly textured inspirations. The first Early One Morning, begins with a rather somber setting in minor key, abruptly changing to the sunnier mood of the major, featuring several different solo voices. The second Six Dukes Went A-Fishin', is serene and gentle, making effective use of contrasting colors and textures.
