Add an international flair to your next concert with this inspired piece based upon the old Irish folk song, Carrickfergus, a town in Northern Ireland that has existed since medieval times. The folk song has been recorded by many artists including Charlotte Church, Joan Baez, Celtic Woman, Van Morrison, and 10,000 Maniacs. Performers will enjoy playing the lyrical melody as it moves throughout the band. A wide variety of percussion instruments will add to the Celtic flavor of the piece. A lovely melodic selection for any concert performance!
