The Lost Lady Found from A Lincolnshire Posy

A Lincolnshire Posy, considered Grainger's masterpiece, was composed for concert band in 1937. The work is composed of six movements, each adapted from folk songs that Grainger had collected on a 1905–1906 trip to Lincolnshire, England. Grainger maintained the personality and quirks of each singer he heard on his trip, creating a a musical portrait of the singer's personality and musical style.

The Lost Lady Found is a quick, jumpy, straight 3/4 melody with usual accompaniment patterns. Every section is featured with the melody in this fast-paced finale.
