All of them together, treated and orchestrated for wind orchestra, give rise to this piece, being the more appropriate title for this Suite Irlandesa, an Irish Suite.
NOTAS DE PROGRAMA
Esta obra nasce de um pequeno tema originalmente escrito para flauta e piano. Este aparece no início da obra como solo de flauta, só voltando a aparecer nos últimos compassos, desta vez tratado como uma fanfarra. A partir desta primeira ideia nascem mais três temas originais com influências da música tradicional Irlandesa. Todos eles juntos, tratados e orquestrados para orquestra de sopros, dão origem a esta obra, sendo o título mais apropriado para esta Suite Irlandesa.
