Irish Legend  

Robert Kerr
Grade 4

Showcase your strings with fire and flair in the style of and traditional Celtic music! Written by Robert Kerr and arranged for strings by Soon Hee Newbold, this air and jig is a dramatic finale to any concert. Dazzling violin solos (both lyrical and technical) and highly rhythmic passages accompanied by drum set really set this work apart. Optional piano and harp add to the ethnic sound of a work destined to bring down the house. The ultimate closer!

Irish Legend is a through-composed work in two parts beginning with an air and ending with a fast jig. The work was commissioned and written for the Winter Park High School Orchestra under the direction of Todd Doan in Orlando, Florida.
