Suite Irlandesa
This piece born’s from a small theme originally written for
flute and piano. The theme appears at the beginning as a
flute solo, and only reappears in the last bars, this time
treated as a fanfare. From this initial idea borns three
original songs with influences from traditional Irish Music.
All of them together, treated and orchestrated for wind
orchestra, give rise to this piece, being the more
appropriate title for this Suite Irlandesa, an Irish Suite.
