The Wexford Carol is a traditional Irish hymn likely composed in the 12th century. Although its magnetic melody is less known outside of the song's homeland, its old-world folk charm captivates hearts upon first hearing. The refrain wanders through Ionian, Mixolydian and Dorian modes, beautifully combining the introspection and hopefulness of the Christmas season. This arrangement is in Theme and Variations form and navigates through an Irish air style violin solo and a series of short wind solos to establish the melody. Variations include a brass chorale, decorative tutti sections, and a build into a broad celebrative climax with large, powerful Copland-esque harmonies.
