This is an arrangement of a beautiful Irish traditional melody. Sometimes linear in style, it varies in texture from the sparse opening to the fuller closing section. The melody is distributed and effective use is made of dynamics. It is a sensitively crafted piece suitable for school choirs.

With its divisi passages, slightly syncopated rhythms and general complexity this is a challenging but rewarding piece. It makes interesting use of texture and dynamics in conjunction with both sparse and rich harmonies.There is great opportunity for a choir to display its versatility and expressive capability in this arrangement of a beautiful Irish air.

Somewhat complicated with its slightly syncopated rhythmic style, this is a challenging but rewarding "a cappella" piece. It makes varied use of texture and dynamics, with subtle and rich harmonies that are always in keeping with the Celtic tradition. In providing an excellent opportunity for a choir to display its expressive capability it is a suitable item for a concert or choral competition.
