date of birth: 08.07.1882
date of death: 20.02.1961

Grainger Percy Aldridge, geboren in Brighton, Melbourne, Australien, 8. Juli 1882,†White Plains, New York, 20. Februar 1961. Nach Studien bei Louis Pabst kam Grainger 1894 nach Frankfurt, um am Hochschen Konservatorium bei James Kwast Klavier-Unterricht zu nehmen. Kurze Zeit unterrichtete ihn auch F. B. Busoni. Als Konzertpianist bereiste er seit 1900 Europa und Amerika, lernte 1906 in London E. Grieg kennen, mit dem ihn fortan tiefe Freundschaft verband, und ließ sich 1914 in den USA nieder. In einer Militärkapelle, in die er 1917 als Saxophonist eintrat und die er später dirigierte, kam er in Berührung mit der Blasmusik. Sein Eindruck davon war so stark, daß er als Dirigent und Komponist sich künftig vor allem dieser Gattung verbunden fühlte. 1919 bis 1931 unterrichtete er am Music College in Chicago,1932/33 leitete er die Musikabteilung der New York City-Universität und 1935 legte er den Grundstein zu einem Museum in Melbourne, das der Universität angegliedert wurde und in dem sein Nachlass aufbewahrt wird.
