Conducted by the COMPOSER
THIS piece was composed for performance by the massed Bands at Wembley on Empire Day two years ago. It is built upon a number of somewhat unfamiliar tunes, the first of which, Tadg bui (Yellow Tim) was taken down by the Composer from a singer of folk-songs in County Cork. An Antrim tune, and snatches of The Green Ribbon, lead to the appearance, as a Euphonium solo, of Along the Ocean shore. The Clarinets next start a ' chorus Jig ' and a Pipers' Dance is heard a little later. Two more tunes are used. and then the last section is made out of two 'Reels.
