The Battle of Clontarf
The Battle of ClontarfSubstantially revised version of a piece which I posted in another arrangement some time ago.In 1014 an Irish army under High King Brian Boru defeated an invading Viking host at Clontarf near Dublin, ending Viking aspirations to conquer Ireland.

Three Fairy Songs for Solo Flute
Three Fairy Songs for Solo FluteRevised version of a piece I wrote some time ago. Fairy music, wrote folklorist Redfern Mason in his The Song Lore of Ireland, “is music of a perilous fascination for mortals." He refers to “its delicate aroma, and says that it has also about it “something dreamy and hallucinatory, as though the notes were of ivory or mother-of-pearl."…See More
"Thanks for the comment."
"Thanks for the comment. It does sound Japanese, because I used a scale characteristic of some traditional Japanese music."
"Hi Jon,
A Koto would complete this!
All the best"
"Hi Jon,
Somehow, if I'd not seen the painting, I imagine she would have found her way into my imagination through listening to this. Quite on-point.
All the best"

In this blog post I'll mention two recent articles from that site which composers may find interesting.

Posted on June 13, 2019 at 4:57pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
A Medieval Songbook: Troubadour & Trouvere by Feltcher Collins, Jr. et al. (University Press of Virginia, 1982) is a valuable resource for performers and listeners of medieval music.
Although the phrase Medieval music is likely to suggest to the general listener Gregorian chant and the church music of such composers as Hildegard von Bingen, there also exists a considerable body of Medieval secular song, most notably by the Minnesingers of the…

Complete Country Dance Tunes from Playford's The Dancing Master, edited by Jeremy Barlow (Faber Music 1986) may be of little interest to most people, but of the highest interest to those interested in its particular subject. Playford's Dancing Master was a collection of traditional songs with basic dance notation which went through numerous editions in the 17th and 18th centuries. It's usually described as a collection of English tunes, but many of them have origins…

Posted on April 25, 2019 at 10:00am 0 Comments 0 Likes
The Great Waltz is a classic "Hollywoodization" bio-pic, one which hardly pretends to be accurate, but which uses the life story of a historical character as a basis for atmosphere and entertainment. In this case the subject is "The Waltz King" Johann Strauss II, who was responsible for the craze for the dance that conquered Vienna and much of Europe in the mid 19th…
