Writing
these arrangements, Frank
Reinshagen has created
little masterpieces,
which broaden the
rhythmical and harmonic
context of the original
tunes in an interesting
manner without detracting
from their archaic and
melancholic character.
These original tunes have
been borrowed from the
Irish, Scottish, and
Gaelic musical tradition.
These through-composed
arrangements are rather
easy to perform from the
rhythmical and technical
point of view. Yet, they
are quite demanding in
respect of the key they
are written in, their
intonation, and
especially their
interpretation. Their
different
instrumentations are
fully compatible with
each other and, due to
their overall structure,
they are also suitable to
be played with
multi-scored parts. The
original of The Sons of
Liberty is of a more
recent date and goes back
to the time when the King
of England forced the
Irish farmers' sons to go
to war in America against
their own fellow
countrymen who were
striving for freedom
there. The arrangement
conveys the impression of
a vigorous forward motion
created by a recurring
and changing riff.
Although it is written in
a somewhat more difficult
key (E minor), it is not
too exacting from the
technical point of
view.
