Program Notes
Lough Erin Shore opens and closes with a statement of the melody by the solo violin. Once established, the melody is developed throughout the work with the growing density of accompaniment- from simple chord to more complex rhythmic harmony and countermelodies. After building towards an intricate climax, the work gradually resolves and softens through to the end.
