Based on the Celtic music of Ireland and Scotland, often modal in tonality and simply stated melodically, this piece presents a richly woven tapestry of local culture, history, folklore, and deeply personal experiences. The free-flowing, lyrical melodic style of this well-known Irish tune enhances dynamic balance, breath support, phrasing, and stylistic nuances. (3:00) This title available in MakeMusic Cloud.

With a blend of Celtic and American fiddle tunes, the medley Emerald Melodies begins with Star of the County Down in a moderate 3/4 and intensifies with two Irish jigs: Another Jig Will Do and Coleraine, in multiple compound meters. Melodies are passed throughout every section while still having rhythmically interesting accompaniment parts. The last section brings it all home in the friendly fiddle key of D Major with Lost Indian, an American bluegrass standard.
