Description:
On both "Hill-Songs," Percy Grainger writes: "My Hill-Songs arose out of the thoughts about and longings for the wilderness of hill countries, hill peoples, and hill musics (such as the Scottish Highlands, the Himalayas, the bagpipes, and the like.) "Hill-Song II" is the result of a wish to present the fast, energetic elements of "Hill-Song I" as a single-type whole, without contrasting types of a slower, more dreamy nature."
