A Grainger Suite explores various styles, techniques, and simple chromaticism. The three movements include "Country Gardens," "Irish Tune From County Derry," and "Children's March." Robert D. McCashin has done an excellent job of making this accessible to intermediate groups while staying true to the character of Percy Aldridge Grainger's original music. A perfect way to work on phrasing and chromatic fingerings without requiring a great deal of technique. (4:45)
