Program Notes

Gum-Suckers March is the final movements of Percy Grainger’s Suite for Orchestra "In a Nutshell," an original work in which no folksongs are used. “Gum-suckers” is a nickname for Australians hailing from Grainger’s Australian home state of Victoria. The leaves of the ‘gum’ (Eucalyptus) trees are very refreshing to suck in the hot Australian summer weather.
