This arrangement uses the main themes of the second and third movements of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2. It opens with the haunting Adagio sostenuto. At measure 16, the third movement's rhapsodic main theme is introduced and developed. At measure 57, we return to the Adagio melody with the Moderato theme merging and dominating until measure 74 when the work closes with the initial theme. The Moderato theme is among the most beloved melodies of the 20th Century. Both themes in Rach 2 were featured in several movies. In first position for young people, this musical setting demonstrates the fluid relationship of 3 triplets against 2 eighth notes and the development of a long melodic line.

This beautiful and exciting arrangement features two traditional Irish tunes. It opens with Parting Glass, a lovely air which is traditionally sung as a farewell to good friends at the end of an evening together or before a long journey. This setting offers melodic material to all voices and uses the richest ranges of each instrument to maximize the expressive possibilities. Next comes Collin's Reel, a fiddle dance that's great fun to play and features a gradual accelerando that makes for a very fast and furious ending. Duration 4:40.
