Selected Songs

This comparatively slight work of John Ireland's presents no difficulty at all to the listener; from beginning to end it is frankly melodious and its themes are all good-going tunes which are easily remembered. There are four sections, although the work is played without a break. The 'cello begins the first with a fine broad melody which the violin afterwards takes up. It is heard more than once at later stages of the Trio, notably in the third section, which is largely a repetition of the first. The second is the only slow part, and the last is very lively.
