Overture, Shamus O'Brien
Stanford, an Irishman, composed nothing more lightly than this Irish Opera, Shamus O'Brien. The plot deals with the rebellion of 1798 and one of the chief characters is Father O'Flynn.
The Overture starts off with the famous tune of Father O'Flynn (otherwise known as The Top of the Cork Road), and it also brings in an old march of Cromwell's time, The Glory of the West.
