Program Notes

In preparation for the Marine Band’s 2004 concert tour, Bulla assembled a set of well-known Irish tunes for baritone soloist Master Sergeant Kevin Bennear. The popularity of that medley prompted a second arrangement of additional Irish favorites, completed in 2009. Equal parts sentimentality, reverence, and pure joy, the medley features When Irish Eyes are Smiling, The Little Beggarman, Rocky Road to Dublin, The Minstrel Boy, Morrison’s Jig, and The Wearing of the Green.
