''Colonial Song'' is a musical composition written by Australian composer Percy Grainger. Although Grainger created versions for different types of musical ensembles, its most commonly used version today is for concert band. ==Background== Grainger initially wrote ''Colonial Song'' in 1911 as a piano piece as a gift to his mother, Rose. Of his piece, Grainger wrote that it was "an attempt to write a melody as typical of the Australian countryside as Stephen Foster's exquisite songs are typical of rural America".〔Letter to Frederick Fennell from Grainger, 1959, as quoted in Thomas C. Slattery, ''Percy Grainger: The Inveterate Innovator'' (Evanston: The Instrumentalist Co., 1974), 91.〕 Although the piece seems to have been intended as part of a series of ‘Sentimentals,’ Grainger never wrote any other pieces in this series. Unlike many of Grainger's other compositions, the melodies of ''Colonial Song'' are not based on folk song, but are original melodies.
