| Comments: She's Like the Swallow, Old Sod Shanty, Saint-Malo beau port de mer. |
| Description: This symphonic treatment of three Canadian folk songs has exciting parts for all instruments. A hauntingly beautiful setting of She's Like the Swallow is contrasted with the driving energy of the outer tunes, Old Sod Shanty and Saint-Malo beau port de mer. Toward the end, an easy fugato sets up a powerful ostinato in the upper strings before the piece drives to an exciting conclusion. |
