Grainger - Gum​-​Sucker's March

from Kokopelli's Dance by UPEI Wind Symphony

/

about

A "Gum-Sucker" is an Australian nickname for Australians born in Victoria, the home state of the composer. The eucalyptus tree that abound in Victoria are called "gums", and the young shoots at the bottom of the trunk are called "suckers"; so "gum-sucker" came to mean a young native son of Victoria. In this march, Grainger has again chosen to write original melodies, and he borrows the tune from Colonial Song, but presents it in a more spirited fashion.
