MOLLY ON THE SHORE is the name of an old Irish reel, and the composer had made his piece out of this and another reel, 'Temple Hill. ' His use of the orchestra will be found to be vivid and highly coloured. Percy Grainger was born at Melbourne in 1883, but during the war took on American nationality. One of his friendships is commemorated in the British Folk Music Settings, of which this piece is one; they are ' lovingly and reverently dedicated to the memory of Edward Grieg. '
