| Description: British Isles Travelogue features a folksong from each of the four UK countries. The Ash Grove from Wales highlights first and second violin harmonies, followed by the lively English Morris Dance. In Blue Bell of Scotland, each section has its chance to shine, accompanied by the droning bagpipe fifths in the other parts. The Irish Sailors’ Hornpipe leaves listeners ready to dance a jig and sends the more advanced violins to third position. |
