An Irish Ballade

Based on the vintage Irish folk ballad 'The Minstrel Boy,' John Kinyon has given this passionate melody new life in a contemporary arrangement for the less-experienced concert band. To bring out its inherent sweetness and beauty, a sensitive interpretation and rubato tempo are recommended. (Grade 2)

An Irish Farewell - Larry Daehn

The lovely old tune on which this composition is based is know by a variety of names: "Farewell! But Whenever You Welcome the Hour," "To Rodney We Will Go," and "Moll Roone."The "Andante e rubato" used from the outset of the piece, gives conductors as much freedom as they might desire. Wonderful lyrical writing and a beautiful tribute to that special someone.

An Irish Legend - Joseph Eidson

An Irish Legend uses the traditional Irish folk song The Minstrel Boy as the melodic material in this piece. The inspirational and emotional lyrics portray the loss of several friends in the 1798 rebellion of the United Irishmen. One of the lasting messages of this song is freedom from slavery and tyranny - a powerful message that has touched many people fighting for their country. The sense of longing, loss, and triumph found in the lyrics is reflected in the somber and lyrical style of this setting for concert band.
