Description
“Slane,” an Irish folk song that appears towards the end of Prelude on an Irish Folk Tune, is a hymn tune version of the mucholder folk melody “The Banks of the Bann.” In this composit ion, fragments of this melody are introduced, hinting at what is to comelater in the piece, but another folk-like tune is predominant. This the me later acts as a descant to “Slane” when it finally appears. Add a little Sparke sparkle to any concert with this lovely interlude. Dur: 4:00
