Percy Grainger’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Percy Grainger was born in the Year of the Horse. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Horse love to roam free. They’re energetic, self-reliant, money-wise, and they enjoy traveling, love and intimacy. They’re great at seducing, sharp-witted, impatient and sometimes seen as a drifter. Compatible with Dog or Tiger.
Known for his experimental compositions and for renewing interest in British folk music during the first half of the 20th century.
He became known as a society Pianist and concert performer, Composer, and folk-melody collector during his time in London from 1901 until 1914.
He was stricken with poor health following World War II, thus cramping his output and giving him notions that he had failed at his career.
His father was Architect John Grainger who was heralded for designing the Princes Bridge across Melbourne's Yarra River.
His best-known work was "Country Gardens," but he was also known for other compositions such as "Marching Song of Democracy," a Walt Whitman -themed piece.
