about

Irish bronze horns work very well together in large numbers. By using overtracking it is possible to build up layers which can come together to make a big band type of sound. There is no reason why large numbers of horns shouldn’t have been played together in ancient times. The largest ever find of prehistoric metal instruments was a hoard of 26 Bronze Age horns and 39 crotals that turned up during ploughing near Birr, Co. Offally, Ireland in the mid-19th Century AD. This tune ‘An Craic’ is rich and vibrant whilst the simple melody is created through horns alternating with each other.
