Spirit of the Shannon (piano reduction)

Write A Review

1. Beautiful edition

   I purchased a copy of Catherine McMichael's "Spirit of the Shannon" for flute and piano. One of my middle school students will be performing it with her wind ensemble this spring. The school will be purchasing the full version, but I wanted her to have the music now. It's a lovely piece, printed beautifully: very clear to read, with good page turns. There is a place in the part where it indicates to switch to piccolo. This is not mentioned on the title page OR in the part or the score before it happens, and that needs to be changed. Not every flutist plays piccolo. It should be listed as Solo Flute and Piccolo, or Solo Flute with optional Piccolo. In the performance that I heard, the soloist stayed on flute the whole time, so I thought the piece was just for flute. Other than that, it's a lovely edition. Michelle Caimotto on Jan 26th 2018

2. A lively, fun performance

   Enjoy performing this lively and fun piece composed by Catherine McMichael. Although it may sound difficult, it is written in the style of the Irish dance. Unknown on May 18th 2017
