Dublin City is a robust medley comprising three colorful and traditional Irish folk tunes. It opens with the tuneful Molly Malone, the unofficial anthem of Dublin City. Next is the beautifully lyric and somewhat melancholy The Foggy Dew that chronicles the Easter Uprising of 1916.

£121.00Ragtime Nightingale - Joseph Lamb
Joseph F. Lamb is rightfully regarded as one of the "Big Three" composers of classic ragtime music, the other two being Scott Joplin and James Scott. Lamb, who was of Irish descent, was the only non-African American of the group. Unlike Joplin and Scott, Joseph Lambs fame outlived the era of classic ragtime and he, along with Eubie Blake, were the only personalities from the original ragtime era that took part in the ragtime revival in the late 1950s. Ragtime Nightingale is a "heavy rag" and displays Lambs individual style, delightful syncopations. and jaunty spirit that appear so pleasingly throughout the piece. A new dimension to concert programming.

£104.50The Road to Castlemaine - Barry E. Kopetz
A collection of Australian folk songs that depict the sights and sounds of the beautiful landscape with an Aussie twist and tongue-in-cheek tuneful way. The first movement includes The Wonderful Crocodile and The Old Jig-Jog, folk songs full of energy and dance-like qualities. River Fraser provides the melodic content for the second movement, a slow and impassioned lament. The third movement uses three popular tunes that range in style from joyful dancing as in an Irish reel, to a poignant and haunting flavor, to a brave and dramatic march that dies away bit by bit prior to an explosive ending of energy and good humor.

Jig - Gustav Holst
Together with his good friend Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst had a strong liking for the abundant folk music of the British Isles. This influence is heard in many of his works and is perhaps strongest in his Second Suite for Military Band and in the Saint Paul Suite for string orchestra. This work was composed in 1913 for the school orchestra of St. Paul's Girls School in London, where Holst was the Director of Music. The suite opens with this exuberant Jig, a dance originating from Scottish and Irish folk music in alternating duple and triple time (6/8 and 9/8), which has been expertly arranged for concert band.
