Additional Information
'Her charms invited'(2010) was inspired by, and based upon, various types of ornamentation used in sean-nós (traditional Irish) singing, here re-contextualized through use of a contemporary musical language. This is the third in a series of pieces exploring this area, following on from 'Where the moorcocks crow' for alto saxophone and saxophone quartet and 'The linnet sings her note so pleasing' for quartertone bass flute and live electronics. These three pieces are also linked by their use – however distantly or fragmentarily – of an original melody I wrote to the old Irish song 'The mountain streams'.
