IRISH RHAPSODY

Whether genuine folk or ‘manufactured in Tin Pan Alley’, Irish music appeals timelessly to all who love a jaunty rhythm or a plaintive tune. Over the years its melodies have inspired a wide variety of works, by Irish and non-Irish composers, ranging from the more traditional arrangements of Thomas Moore or, more recently, Leroy Anderson, to the stage-Irish tunes of Victor Herbert and George M. Cohan.
