Five Irish Folk Melodies for Flute and Piano arranged by Graham Lynch
Piano score and flute part
Contents:
- Down By The Sally Gardens
- The Butterfly
- An Chuilfhionn
- The Leitrim Fancy
- The Star of Munster
This set of five arrangements of well known Irish folk tunes features slow airs, reels, and a slip jig. Starting with the famous Sally Gardens (a song that Benjamin Britten also arranged) the music gradually winds itself up towards a brilliant conclusion with The Star of Munster. The pieces contain some ornamentation, as well as idiomatic harmonies, and these give a real flavour of Irish music at its best. I’m very grateful to Michelle Lundy for her suggestions in making this music suitable for the harp.
