What is lincolshire posy?

Lincolnshire Posy is a suite for concert band composed by Percy Aldridge Grainger in 1937. It consists of six movements, each based on folksongs collected in Lincolnshire, England. The suite was inspired by Grainger's visit to the region in 1905, where he collected over 200 tunes and fragments of songs. The six movements in the suite are: "Lisbon", "Horkstow Grange", "Rufford Park Poachers", "The Brisk Young Sailor", "Lord Melbourne", and "The Lost Lady Found". Each movement has its own character and mood, and the suite as a whole represents Grainger's love for folk music and his innovative approach to arranging and composing for band. Lincolnshire Posy has become one of the most popular and frequently performed works in the concert band repertoire, and is considered a masterpiece of the genre.
