Irish Rhapsody

The warmth and vitality of Irish folk music is evident in this exciting setting of “Bold Brennan on the Moor”, “Londonderry Air”, and “Irish Washer Woman”. The three sections of Irish Rhapsody provide excellent contrast and allow the players to display differing aspects of their musicianship. The familiarity of the music will contribute to strong audience appeal. This piece plays Grade 3 but sounds Grade 4.
