Writin
g 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.

interpretation of 'S mo
lamh air a stiuir---the
song of a helmsman living
on the Isle of
Skye---should be
interpreted with the
musicians paying careful
attention to its dynamics
and phrasing, which
reflect the up-and-down
motion of the stormy
Artic Ocean. For this
arrangement the key D
minor---which is one
whole tone lower than the
original---has been
chosen to make sure that
the piece is playable,
especially for a clarinet
quartet.

Patapa
n is a French carol
attributed to Bernard de
la Monnoye who lived from
1641--1728. The title
refers to the beating of
a drum, and the lyrics
also mention other
instruments (pipes, fife,
and flute). As with many
Christmas tunes, Patapan
reflects the joyous union
of Christmas music with
dance, as the lyrics
express, when you play
your fife and drum, how
can anyone be glum? The
melody is complimented in
this arrangement by the
use of a lyrical folk
song also used by
Tchaikovsky in his 1812
Overture.
This
arrangement for saxophone
quartet, rather than
favoring a soprano solo
with accompaniment,
strives to include all of
the players by
distributing the melodic
material. In addition,
all dynamics and
articulations should be
taken as suggestions
only, as performers are
encouraged to make their
own interpretations.

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
are---in a direct or
wider sense---of Celtic
origin, in other words,
they 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

Annotation on
Aignish on the Machair.
The arrangement of
Aignish on the Machair
illustrates, above all,
the melancholic character
inherent in the harmonies
of the original tune. A
short rubato passage is
followed by several
variations over the
flowing melody in 3/4-
time. The short triplet
passages embedded in
these variations are
quite demanding from the
technical point of view;
considering the key they
are written in, however,
these passages are not
too difficult to
play.
