Commissioned in 2011 from Corrina by the ElHF in celebration of its 30th year and the Clarsach Society’s 80th anniversary, it is based on a short story written by Eugene Field in 1891. **** ”The piece dynamically encapsulated the clarsach’s multigenerational, multicultural identity today, both in its array of exponents and instrumental varieties – from the ancient wire-strung model to the 21st century electro-harp – and its brilliant compositional synthesis of genres, moods and timbres.” Sue Wilson, The Scotsman Cormac De Barra Cláirseach na hÉireann – The Harp of Ireland A popular return to our Festival by Cormac presenting a concert of Irish airs, harpers’ melodies, dance tunes and songs in the Irish language.
