The luck of the Irish

Details

Description

'The Luck of the Irish is written with an Irish flavour.
I wrote it for Barry Green and it was premiered and performed during a 'Barry Green and friends' tour in January and February 2013 in the USA. I wrote it with a joyful and carefree feel as if it was a traditional Irish reel or jig. At the beginning the theme is presented with one bass alone, gradually adding the other instruments as if it were a spontaneous meeting (jam) in an Irish pub. In the first part you can recognize some characteristic sounds such as tin whistle, bouzouki´s strumming and bodhran´s rhythms, and in the second part the same theme is processed in a more rhythmic and fun way with an accompaniment reminiscent of the way of the violins accompany Irish folk music.'
