Prelude on an Irish Folk Tune (?Prélude sur un air irlandais?) est basée sur l'air traditionnel Slane la version hymnique d?une mélodie irlandaise plus ancienne The Banks of the Bann. La mélodie s?imbrique dans la trame musicale vers la fin de la pièce. Publiée pour la première fois en 1909 dans le recueil Old Irish Folk Music and Songs (?Chants et airs irlandais anciens?) de Patrick Joyce cette mélodie traditionnelle tient son nom d?une colline située à environ 16 kilomètres de Tara dans le comté de Meath. Selon un extrait des Confessions de Saint Patrick le saint irlandais aurait allumé le cierge pascal sur la colline de Slane le Samedisaint de l?an 443. Cet acte de défi provoqua la fureur de Laoghaire un roi païen qui avait promulgué un édit interdisant d?allumer un feu autre que le feu royal sur la colline de Tara. Le feu royal célébrait la coutume païenne du retour du Printemps après l?Hiver du triomphe de la lumière (saison claire) sur la pénombre (saison sombre).Dans Prelude on an Irish Folk Tune des fragments de la mélodie font allusion au canevas futur de la pièce. Un autre thème écrit dans le style traditionnel domine le contexte avant de servir de contrechant lorsque la mélodie Slane se dévoile.

The romance and passion of Ireland's colourful history is uniquely depicted through a magical folk tradition. Here are 28 of the most exquisite nostalgic and best-loved Irish folksongs including 'Danny Boy' and 'The star of the County Down' and many more. Arranged with simple keyboard accompaniments chord symbols and delightful illustrations.

Two beautiful pieces of Irish influence. Recorded by Gary Ryan on his CD 'Visions and Vistas'.The composer writes:'Out of Clonmel' - Over the past few years I have explored different tunings on the guitar. The instrument sounds fresh with a new tuning and harmonies or patterns that have become stale or are difficult to play with the traditional tuning can suddenly become reinvigorated idiomatic and resonant in different ways. You are also forced as a player to explore the fingerboard differently and the different tension of the strings produces a subtly different timbre.Out of Clonmel is tuned so that all of the open strings form a D major chord (D A D F# A D). This can be confusing at first but you get used to it pretty quickly and tablature helps when notating the score. Both of these pieces were originally commissioned by Rebecca Baulch a very fine player who I used to teach at the Royal College of Music. She was very good at reading tablature hence the idea to retune the guitar.Clonmel was the place my grandfather came from in Co. Tipperary Ireland and the piece has an energetic Irish flavour which reflects Irish folk music something I have always loved. The melody is decorated with ornaments which imitate those often played on the pipe or whistle. I dedicated this piece to my second daughter Caitlin so full of life who has of course in part come out of Clonmel.'Lough Caragh (Glenbeigh)' - Lough Caragh is influenced by the traditional Irish ballad and expresses for me something of the incredible beauty of the South West of Ireland. When my eldest daughter Jenny was only one year old in the summer of 2004 we stayed on the shores of Lough Caragh a beautifully tranquil lake west of Killarney visiting Glenbeigh where Jenny first played in the sea. I was trying to convey through the music the memory of those early magical childhood days which can never be recaptured. I had the melody going round in my head for a very long time before writing it down. When I compose I like to think that if what I have written is good I will remember it several weeks or months later in my head. My aural memory therefore acts as a filter retaining the best ideas before I put pen to paper. Lough Caragh uses a

Be Thou My Vision (Slane)-The Irish folk tune Slane (the melody used in the hymn Be Thou My Vision) forms the foundation for this melodically expansive and inspired work for concert band. A flowing exploration of the melody in variationinspires the listener with its bold and thrilling progression. The piece remains within reach of a solid grade 3 band but gives the impression of a higher level of composition. A rich variety of style and orchestration make thisa good choice for festival use as well as concert performance as well as a great opportunity to study the rich cultural heritage of Ireland. You'll be glad you programmed Variants on an Irish Folk Tune by Timothy Johnson.

What can be more charming than a comely Irish folk melody? This is music that allows the band to play in the rubato style with much room for expression. Found in an old British publication and simply called ?Irish Air ? this endearing arrangement is a rhapsodic treatment that takes fragments of the melody and develops them into a large symphonic work. The freedom of tempi allows you to work with your band in a sensitively conducted way that only a beautiful piece like this will allow.There is always room on a concert program for at least one lush melodic contrast piece. Perhaps this one is for you. It?s so difficult to describe a thing of real beauty. Please listen tothe demo recording and hear it for yourself.
