Shepherd's Hey is one of my all time favorite concert band song, and I had the wonderful opportunity to perform it while attending Grad School at Ohio University. Percy Grainger, (born July 8, 1882, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia—died Feb. 20, 1961, White Plains, N.Y., U.S.), was an Australian-born American composer, pianist, and conductor who was also known for his work in collecting folk music. Grainger was heavily influenced by English folk music, which he arranged for keyboard instruments, chamber ensembles, and both solo voice and chorus. Another one of my favorite Grainger pieces is titled, Molly on the Shore.
