Description
This colorfully orchestrated overture uses two familiar Irish melodies- "The Donegal Reel" and " The Star of the County Down" along with a fanfare-like section. An exciting piece, with strong harmonies, energetic rhythms great tunes and wonderful climax points it is a very desirable concert item-both for audience and players alike.
