About this item
Showcase your strings with fire and flair in the style of Riverdance and traditional Celtic music! Written by Robert Kerr and arranged for strings by Soon Hee Newbold, this air and jig is a dramatic finale to any concert. Dazzling violin solos (both lyrical and technical) and highly rhythmic passages accompanied by drum set really set this work apart. Optional piano and harp add to the ethnic sound of a work destined to bring down the house. The ultimate closer!
