This highly-charged medley contains four Irish fiddle tunes arranged in the Celtic rock style that's so popular with audiences today. The nonstop eighth notes, modal scales and driving rhythms will be exciting for all. Double stops should be played non-divisi when possible, and Frackenpohl suggests that the bass line will sound best if some basses play pizzicato instead of arco. Duration 3:00. Available in SmartMusic.

Songs from Across the Water was commissioned by Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds - Phil Evans, Founder and Director. Phil Evans hails from the UK and served for 25 years in the Band of HM Royal Marines. Now resident in the USA he founded Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds in 2008, giving them the tag line ‘An American Band with a British Accent’, as he wanted to combine the best of both countries’ band traditions. With this in mind, composer Philip Sparke decided to create a suite of British folk songs, scored with an American influence to fulfil the philosophy of the band’s tag line. The three movements, which are played without a break, are based on the following folk songs,which come from all corners of the British Isles: The Three Ravens & The Cruiskeen Lawn, The Lark in the Clear Air and The Piper o’ Dundee & Men of Harlech. Songs from Across the Water werd geschreven in opdracht van de Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds, waarvan Phil Evans de oprichter en tevens de dirigent is. Phil Evans is geboren en getogen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, hij was 25 jaar lang lid van de Band of HM Royal Marines. Tegenwoordig woont hij in de VS, waar hij in 2008 de Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds oprichtte, met als motto ‘An American band with a British Accent’ (Een Amerikaans blaasorkest met een Brits accent), aangezien hij de blaasmuziektradities uit beide landen wilde combineren. Met dit gegeven in zijn achterhoofd creëerde componist Philip Sparke een suite van Britse folksongs, georkestreerd met een Amerikaanse invloedom de filosofie achter het eerdergenoemde motto eer aan te doen. De drie delen, die zonder onderbreking worden gespeeld, zijn gebaseerd op de volgende folksongs, die afkomstig zijn uit alle hoeken van de Britse Eilanden: The Three Ravens & The Cruiskeen Lawn, The Lark in the Clear Air en The Piper o’ Dundee & Men of Harlech. Songs from Across the Water wurde von den Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds in Auftrag gegeben, deren Gründer und Leiter Phil Evans ist. Phil Evans stammt aus dem Vereinigten Königreich und spielte 25 Jahre lang im Blasorchester der HM Royal Marines. Inzwischen lebt er in den USA und gründete 2008 die Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds, denen er den Beinamen An American band with a British Accent“ (Ein amerikanisches Blasorchester mit einem britischen Akzent“) gab, da er das Beste aus der Blasorchester-Tradition beider Länder miteinander vereinen wollte. Aus diesem Grund hat der Komponist Philip Sparke eine Suite aus britischen Volksliedern komponiert, wobei dieInstrumentierung einen amerikanischen Einfluss hat, um so die Philosophie des Orchesterbeinamens zu verwirklichen. Die drei Sätze, die ohne Pause gespielt werden, basieren auf den folgenden Volksliedern, die aus allen Gegenden der britischen Inseln stammen: The Three Ravens & The Cruiskeen Lawn, The Lark in the Clear Air sowie The Piper o’ Dundee & Men of Harlech. Songs from Across the Water est une commande du Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds et de Phil Evans, fondateur et directeur. Phil Evans est originaire du Royaume-Uni où il a joué dans l’orchestre des HM Royal Marines pendant 25 ans. Vivant désormais aux Etats-Unis, il y a fondé le Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds en 2008 et lui a donné le slogan « un orchestre américain l’accent britannique », aspirant combiner les meilleures traditions d’harmonies des deux pays. Avec cette idée l’esprit, le compositeur Philip Sparke a décidé de créer une suite de chansons folkloriques britanniques, orchestrées l’influence américaine en rapport avec la philosophie du groupe. Les troismouvements qui s’enchaînent reposent sur les trois chansons folkloriques suivantes, qui viennent de tous les coins des Îles Britanniques : The Three Ravens & The Cruiskeen Lawn, The Lark in the Clear Air et The Piper o’ Dundee & Men of Harlech.

Since an invitation to the Emerald Isle, Harald Genzmer (1909-2007) has been fascinated with the local tradition and culture. Therefore, after the songs 'Irische Harfe', he wrote another cycle for mixed choir at a ripe old age: 'Lieder einer Insel'. In three parts with ten choral settings altogether, the composer tells stories from the mythology of the Emerald Isle in the Irish poems, in the texts of old and modern lyricists, describes emotions, desires, laments: from 'Weissagung Cathbads' to 'Lobgesang der Gerechten', from the bright 'Monch und seinem Lieblingskater' to the sad lament 'Das Lied in einem Madchenherzen', from the tender 'Anrufung des Friedens' to the contemplate 'Abendgebet'. The freely tonal settings range from simple, chordal-homophonic via declamatory to expressive. Of intermediate difficulty, these choral miniatures are suitable not only for professional ensembles but also for ambitious amateur choirs.

Writing these arrangements, Frank Reinshagen has created little masterpieces, which broaden the rhythmical and harmonic context of the original tunes in an interesting manner without detracting from their archaic and melancholic character. These original tunes are---in a direct or wider sense---of Celtic origin. In other words, they have been borrowed from the Irish, Scottish, and Gaelic musical tradition. These through-composed arrangements are rather easy to perform from the rhythmical and technical point of view. Yet, they are quite demanding in respect of the key they are written in, their intonation and especially, their interpretation. Their different instrumentations are fully compatible with each other and, due to their overall structure, they are also suitable to be played with multi-scored parts. Annotation on Aignish on the Machair: The arrangement of Aignish on the Machair illustrates, above all, the melancholic character inherent in the harmonies of the original tune. A short rubato passage is followed by several variations over the flowing melody in 3/4-time. The short triplet passages embedded in these variations are quite demanding from the technical point of view; considering the key they are written in, however, these passages are not too difficult to play.
