about

Lillys in the Field, The Green Fields of Rossbeigh, The Humours of Tulla.
Three reels were chosen by Gerry Whelan to be played together as the grand finally of the concert. The first tune is introduced by a dord íseal in the key of D (large end-blown bass Bronze Age horn) and this sets the scene for a lifting break away modulation into E driven by a dord ard (mid-range end-blown Bronze Age horn). Finally, the music moves into a higher gear with the introduction of a sean nós dancer Brian Cunningham, bringing the piece to a tremendous crescendo.
