For over 5000 years, the mystic of the Boyne Region has captivated our hearts. Known as the soul of Irelands Ancient East, the Boyne Valley maintains a rich culture of music. Listen closely as The Battle of the Boyne (1690) emerges as other traditional tunes such as Endearing Young Charms, Whiskey In the Jar, and Drunken Sailor come to life in this traditional setting. In traditional Irish music, a TIN WHISTLE solo is written (can be played by Alto Recorder/Saxophone). Finishing with the classic Boyne Water, this piece is a must for your band.

In the 17th century, the Duntrune Castle was known as a seat of the Campbell clan. One of the enemies of the Campbell clan waged war upon the clan and sent a piper ahead to attempt to befriend the Campbells. The piper sent a musical signal as an alarm by playing his pipes from his imprisoned tower. It is said that his spirit still haunts the castle. Listen closely as you hear the piper warning his men through his musical pipes (flute player) and as the ensuing battle takes place (brass and percussion). If you listen even closer, you will hear the spirit of the piper continue his musical warning for all to hear. SPOOKY History

My Grandfather was a Gospel songwriter using shaped notes. As a child I would listen to his songs, watch him work, and be amazed. I have utilized one of his songs "I Know That I Am Unworthy" and modified it for medium level concert band. This piece is perfect for all performance settings. Staring with a slow introduction of the original hymn, then moving into a minor mode only to return in a majestic sound of the closing chorus of the shaped note hymn.
