Based on three Irish folk songs (The Maid of the Brown Knowe; Foggy Dew; and The Little Beggarman) this symphonic treatment uses the full range of colors and sonorities of the symphonic band. The percussion section is an important part of both the rhythmic and textural make-up of the piece. A variety of textures with particular emphasis on short, fugal sections gives the piece a profound and telling musical impact. The contrast of styles will give the conductor ample opportunity for sophisticated interpretation of the work. This is an explosive piece that will work well in both concert and contest venues. |
