Description:
This pair of contrasting melodies depicts the ethereal beauty of Irish legends and landscapes. The Monastery at Kilmacduagh is a plaintive air inspired by the seventh-century ruins in County Galway, while Fort of the Rounded Hills derives its name from Doonagore Castle near the coastal village of Doolin in County Clare. The lively 6/8 jig features a solo violin part that could also be played on the pennywhistle.
