The Celts of County Clare—Robert Sheldon.
An eclectic combination of dances and ballads
inspired by the music of Ireland - specifically
the type of folk music heard in County Clare,
located on the central southwest coast. While
much of the music played in the pubs is
rhythmic dance music, the area is also known
for some lovely ballads. An excellent choice for
honors band festivals. (5:15)

place for itself in the school band repertoire.
