Danny Rocks
A trio of terrific tunes! An air, a jig, and a reel done in a Celtic rock style! The plaintive sounds of Danny Boy, also known as Londonderry Air starts things off. Next, the Swallowtail jig begins with an intense rhythmic pattern where 6/8 clashes with 3/4 and what sounds like a Bodhran (Irish hand drum) is actually half the cello section using their instruments for rhythm! Following that rollicking jig is a very suspenseful 20-bar transition leading to the very popular reel, Drowsy Maggie. The energy level rises throughout and the rock beat intensifies making this a great concert closer!
