David Matthews's Y Deryn Du (The Blackbird) for Piano Quartet.The Blackbird for piano quartet was written in 1998 and is based on the Welsh folksong Y Deryn Du. In the song the blackbird gives advice to a young man in search of a wife. After rejecting the first three of the bird's suggestions he willingly accepts the fourth the bailiff's daughter. So in this instrumental setting the tune appears appropriately four times: on the viola then the cello then the violin and piano in canon. - David MatthewsCommission made possible by Mrs Elizabeth Salmon.

GEORGE WASHINGTON SUITE is made up of three tunes known to have been composed for (or about) George and Martha Washington in their own time. Probably the best known of the three is the first movement, WASHINGTON’S GRAND MARCH, which is believed to have been written by Francis Hopkinson. He was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The second movement has the delightful title “Fancy Menuit with figure Dance by Two young Ladies in the presance of Mrs. Washington in 1792. Phila. ” sic (The quaint original spellings and capitalizations are preserved here for historical interest. ) A fife-and-drum style arrangement of the BRANDYWINE QUICKSTEP completes this early American triptych. The stately and moderate tempos that fit the music of this era so well also ensure that the arrangements remain accessible to young bands.

Numerous anecdotes exist which testify to a strong personality and a tremendous musical talent as well as enormous self-confidence. Unlike any other he knew how to combine old Irish music with Italian Baroque music creating numerous compositions about 200 of which have survived. 16 of them have been chosen and arranged by Patrick Pf??? for the delightful instrumentation of two Flutes and Alto Flute.Content:O'Carolan's ConcertoLady GethinJohn JamesonBlind MaryJohnDrury (Second Air)Colonel O'HaraCharles O'ConorO'Carolans Farewell to Music - O'Hara's CupThomas Leixlip the ProudMadam MaxwellReceipt for DrinkingPrincess RoyalMrs. Garvey (First Air)Lament for Owen Roe O'NeillMichael O'Connor (First Air)
