Ireland is often referred to as the Emerald Isle, and this show is based on a collection of Irish folk songs. The show opens with Finnegan’s Wake, a lively Irish feel with foot-tapping melodic lines and rhythms with a contrasting woodwind lyrical section. Next, we hear “Molly Malone”, a slow and moving Irish ballad with a well-known melodic line. There is a brief percussion interlude that leads into the closer based by “Irish Rover”. This is a popular sea chanty based on the story of a famous Irish sailing ship and its mythical voyage. This show is certain to make everyone in the audience a little bit Irish.
