Program Notes
This work, based on Manx folksongs, is founded on four of those tunes. The first, “The Good Old Way,” is an old and typical air written mostly in the Dorian mode. The second, which introduces the lively section of the work, is a reel – “The Manx Fiddler.” The third tune, “Sweet Water in the Common” relates to the practice of summoning a jury to decide questions concerning water rights, boundaries, etc. The fourth and last is a fine old hymn, “The Harvest of the Sea,” sung by the fishermen as a song of thanksgiving after their safe return from the fishing grounds.
