* When the bass part is printed in the trombone range, there is minimal voice overlap if trombones are playing both the tenor and bass. If the bass part is printed in the tuba range, there will be voice overlap between trombones playing the tenor and bass.

Horkstow Grange is a folk tune that Percy Grainger collected in 1906 by recording George Gouldthorpe. It is the tale of how a waggoner, John "Steeleye" Span,and his foreman, John Bowlin', fell out and came to blows. Gouldthorpe informed Grainger that Steeleye Span resented John Bowlin's harsh treatment and, burning with resentment, Span wrote this song. The words are set to the tune of a ballad about naval mistreatment "Andrew Rose, the British Sailor". No other variants of this song have been found. Horkstow Grange is a house and range of farm buildings situated about half a mile north of Saxby All Saints. Those who have researched the songs have produced no written evidence of these men or indeed any local memory of them other than in this song. Grainger recorded Gouldthorpe singing "Horkstow Grange". Gouldthorpe had a strong North Lincolnshire accent and takes the song at a brisk pace. Grainger's arrangement of the song for his "Lincolnshire Posy Suite" (1937) is very different. Grainger slows the song down considerably giving it a stately feel. This is arguably the greatest transformation of any Grainger arrangement and he deserves credit for creating such a fine piece from such as a fragmentary song.
