Hal Leonard
Tales of the Emerald Isle
You'll hear the flavor of traditional Irish sounds along with contemporary concert band scoring in this rich and exciting work from Douglas Akey. The 8th note remains a constant thread as the pieces weaves through rapid time signature changes, lilting melodies, and driving rhythmic patterns. The slower middle section features a flowing horn melody and richly scored accompaniment figures. An accelerando and modulation lead to the energetic final segment in this dynamic and well-scored composition. (5:20)
