Product Description

Grainger writes the following: "The Immovable Do (composed 1933-1939) draws its title from one of the two kinds of Tonic Sol-fa notation, one with a "movable Do" ("Do" corresponding to the key-note of whatever key the music is couched in, from moment to moment; so that the note designated by "Do" varies with modulation) and the other with an "immovable Do" (in which "Do" always stands for C). In my composition-which is not based on any folksong or popular tune-the "immovable Do" is a high drone on C which is sounded throughout the whole piece. From the very start (in 1933) I conceived the number for any or all of the following mediums, singly or combined: for organ (or reed organ), for mixed chorus, for wind band or wind groups, for full or small orchestra, for string orchestra or 8 single strings. It seemed natural for me to plan it simultaneously for the different mediums, seeing that such music hinges upon intervallic appeal rather than upon effects of tone color."
