Par BULLA STEPHEN. What can be more charming than a comely Irish folk melody This is music that allows the band to play in the rubato style, with much room for expression. Found in an old British publication and simply called “Irish Air, ” this endearing arrangement is a rhapsodic treatment that takes fragments of the melody and develops them into a large symphonic work. The freedom of tempi allows you to work with your band in a sensitively conducted way that only a beautiful piece like this will allow. There is always room on a concert program for at least one lush, melodic contrast piece. Perhaps this one is for you. It’s so difficult to describe a thing of real beauty. Please listen tothe demo recording and hear it for yourself. / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
