Program Notes
According to the composer:
This folk song suite is based on the wildly inventive, foot stomping, irrepressible genre that is Irish music. I tried to carry on the tradition of composers like Percy Aldridge Grainger, Gustav Holst and Ralph Vaughan Williams, who all have created superb original repertoire for wind orchestra based on folk music, such as Grainger’s Lincolnshire Posy, Shepherd's Hey and Molly on the Shore; Holst’s A Moorside Suite and Suites No. 1 and 2; and Vaughan Williams’ English Folk Song Suite.
For Celtic Classics, I have focused on the following songs and instrumental works:
• Down by the Sally Gardens (Gort na Sailedn) – after a poem by William Butler Yeats
• Give Me Your Hand (Tabhair Dom do Lamh)
• She Moved Through the Fair
• The Butterfly
• Temple House & The Green Gates (Irish reel)
