Added by magataganm, 21 Aug 2012 The "Old Orange Flute" is an anonymous 19th century composition that was originally an "Orange" song but is now played by both Loyalists and Republicans. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, Irish political ballads dealt less with the struggles of the Irish peasantry over land and concentrated on the struggle for independence. They told anew the story of Ireland?s troubled history with its more powerful neighbour, Britain, and captured and supported the political dreams of new generations who sought an independent nation."The Old Orange Flute" reflected the Irish Protestant fears of the Roman Catholic Church. Although this piece was originally written for folk instruments, I arranged it for Flute Ensemble (Piccolo, Flute & Alto Flute) at the request of a member. |
