Irish Rising

The monumental events that helped shape Ireland's history and fan the flames of freedom are recalled in this sparkling medley of tunes from Ireland's rebellious past. The familiar Minstrel Boy leads to a lively setting of Wind That Shakes the Barley. The haunting yet dramatic Foggy Dew follows, leading to the stirring march The Boys of Wexford which features tin whistles (optional flutes or piccolo) along with a driving and Celtic-flavored rhythmic pulse.
