| Comments: Holst's Dargason, Sheebeg and Sheemore. |
| Description: This Irish tour-de-force runs the gamut of emotions. An aggressively rustic opening makes way for a joyful and catchy original jig in the style of Holst's Dargason. A flowing, legato setting of the beautiful folk tune Sheebeg and Sheemore follows, introduced by the violas. The jig returns, and is soon combined with the folk tune, creating a delightful contrapuntal conversation between low and high strings, ending with an exciting flourish. A challenge for every section of your string orchestra, and a perfect selection for your next contest or festival! |
