Percy Grainger (1882-1961) was one of Australia\u00b9s most famous musicians. Although the composer of many folksy short pieces, by which he is best known, he was a serious musical innovator, aiming for a music ‘free’ from fixed pitches and rhythms and ‘democratic’ in its involvement of the whole community. Gillies describes the stages of Grainger’s innovations, pointing out how his ideas sometimes crossed over into other arts and life itself.<\/p>\n
Malcolm Gillies is co-author or editor of five books about Percy Grainger, including The All-Round Man, Grainger on Music, Portrait of Percy Grainger, Self-Portrait of Percy Grainger, and Bird\u00b9s-Eye View. A professor of music since 1992, he holds a PhD from the University of London and a higher doctorate in Music from the University of Melbourne. He now lives in London.<\/p>\n
