about

This set struck me as having classical sonata movement structure; a lively opener (Allegro), a slower, gentler middle movement in triple time (Andante), and fast and furious ending (Presto) - hence "The Celtic Sonata." I didn't discover the name or composer of Cremonea until about 4 weeks before going to press; auspiciously enough, I had created a Renaissance/Baroque influenced arrangement of it (musica ficta all over the place), only afterwards discovering that Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738) was the writer. To further the early music arrangement, Paddy plays the oud on "Cremonea," in imitation of the lute.
