Their album, Percy Grainger: Tuneful Percussion or Tuneful Percussion (2000), featuring arrangements and compositions by Percy Grainger,[3][4] received a nomination at the ARIA Music Awards of 2001 for Best Classical Album.[5] It was recorded between May and November 1999 by the ensemble of Goddard, Hardie, Patten and Christine Baker on percussion.[3][4] They were joined in the studio by Mary Anderson on harp, Kirsten Boerema on vocals (mezzo-soprano), Wendy Clarke on flute and piccolo, Sylvia Hosking on double bass, Mark Knoop on celeste, harmonium and piano, London String Quartet on strings, Vaughan McAlley on vocals (tenor) and Clifford Plumpton on vocals (bass).[3][4] James Manheim of AllMusic rated it at four-out-of-five stars and explained, "presents music from a neglected aspect of Grainger's output: his music for 'tuned percussion,' which he defined as glockenspiels, xylophones, and bells, augmented by such related instruments as the celeste, piano, and the instruments of the Javanese and Balinese gamelan orchestras."[3]
