| Description: The ethereal beauty of Irish landscapes are captured in this pair of contrasting melodies. The Monastery at Kilmacduagh is a plaintive air inspired by ruins in County Galway, while Fort of the Rounded Hills derives its name from Doonagore Castle near the coastal village of Doolin. This lively 6/8 jig features a solo that can be played by violin or pennywhistle. |
