| Description: Featuring string quartet and orchestra, this tour de force follows a few straggling Irish musicians (the quartet) who find themselves in a junkyard picking up scrap instruments. As the quartet begins to find their groove, they are joined by the rest of the orchestra and the party is on! While not based on a specific folksong, the piece draws on elements ranging from a traditional pub band to Irish stepdance. So much fun, and playable on acoustic or electric instruments! |
