William Alwyn

2 Irish Tunes

This is the first publication of some highly attractive music that would appeal to cello ensembles that wish to add some light relief to their repertoire. The music would suit those at an intermediate level and also should appeal to schools with an active music department.

One of the most prolific British composers of the 20th century, William Alwyn (1905-85) produced almost three hundred compositions in most genres: opera, ballet, orchestral, chamber, instrumental and song. Additionally, he contributed around 200 scores for the cinema and was a noted flautist and teacher.
