Irish Sketches - Luc Gistel

As its title suggests this composition is a musical evocation of Ireland. The original themes of this work are strongly influenced by traditional Irish folk music. Each of the three movements reflects part of the Irish character. Following a solemn introduction the first movement springs into life showing the cheery side of the Irish character. The second movement is a ballad with a simple, natural and peaceful melody that inspires a feeling of fullness.The final movement introduces a lively Irish dance in 6/8 time. This joyous piece is a must for your concert band repertoire.

Irish Tune from County Derry

It has been called the "Irish National Anthem," and has been adopted as a favorite tune by millions beyond the shores of that country. It also has served as the theme song for entertainers, and appeared in soundtracks on television and in motion pictures. This beautifully sensitive scoring brings the song into the concert band arena, playable by bands and ensembles of almost any level of skill. Gracious and elegant. (3:00)
