Scenes from the Emerald Isle

Imagine the people and places of old Ireland, and the musical images that follow. Three of these traditional melodies form the basis of this stunning arrangement. She Moved Through the Fair paints a haunting picture of lost love while The Rakes of Kildare portrays unrestrained joviality. The Green Field of Erin then paints a an exuberant soundscape of the lush, green countryside as the work builds to a powerful conclusion. Your students will experience a full range of expression, texture, and phrasing in this entrancing trip to the Emerald Isle! (4:26)
