Musical Terms - Percy Grainger

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Some composers avoid the use of standard Italian music terminology in their compositions; preferring, for example, to use a word like "Fast" instead of "Allegro". Percy Grainger was known for making up his own colorful musical terminology. Fourteen of the markings used below are actual phrases that Percy Grainger used in his compositions, the remainder are made up. Circle the phrases that Grainger actually used.
