From Birmingham
THE BIRMINGHAM STUDIO ORCHESTRA, conducted by JOSEPH LEWIS .
SHAMUS O'BRIEN is a thoroughly Irish Opera, concerned with the 1798. rebellion. Shamus is a rebel, who is arrested, but escapes through Father O'Flynn's intervention.
In the Overture two old Irish tunes are used.
Everybody knows the tune of Father O'Flynn, which starts, with no waste of time, with the very first note of the piece. (This tune is sometimes. known as The Top of the Cork Road.)
The other tune is an old march of Cromwell's time, The Glory of the West. This does not appear for some time. When it does enter (given out emphatically by the Brass), much is made of it. All other tunes are Stanford's own.
