Four pieces of intermediate difficulty, full of Irish and Scottish melodies, dances, and marches. Although musically unified, the suite’s movements make nice separate recital pieces.
The Suite is dedicated to American violinist Caroline Campbell. You can hear her play it on YouTube.
The four movements are available separately on SMP.
(1) BALLAD. (SO.876463) A passionate Irish song of intermediate difficulty.
(2) AIR AND JIG. (SO.876353) Pleasing Irish melodies of early-intermediate difficulty. When you can play these, you’re playing the violin!
(3) WALTZ. (SO.876515) Like Shenandoah and Red River Valley, this simple bittersweet melody evokes America’s rural past and an emotional remembrance of regret and yearning.
(4) FLING. (SO.876477) A string of stirring Scottish dance and march tunes of intermediate difficulty.
Your compositions are charming and melodic, useful both for training and performance.-Thomas Lindsay, former concertmaster, Virginia Beach Symphony and New Jersey Pops.
