A Ballad of Inis Mor

The yearning, Irish-inspired melodies in A Ballad of Inis Mor (pronounced IN-ish more) evoke a sense of quiet reflection. The poignant theme begins in the cello section, rising through the sections amid flowing accompaniments that ebb and flow with expressive dynamic and tempo changes. Graceful embellishments, optional shifting, part independence, and a variety of rhythms will encourage listening across the ensemble to create an elegant, unified sound.
