The
poignant lament “Mo
Chile Mear†(My
Gallant Hero) was
authored after the defeat
of the Scots and their
Celtic allies at the
Battle of Culloden in
1746, ending dreams of
independence from English
rule. Michael's emotional
setting opens with a
flute solo then builds
gradually as layers of
instrumental groups are
added. The piece shifts
to a lilting 6/8 style,
propelled by the
percussion section, and
culminates in a majestic
statement by the entire
ensemble.
