Quincy C. Hilliard
uses two Irish folksongs as the inspiration for this new festival
work. A drone opens the work which quickly moves to a simple, yet
creative setting of The Last Rose of Summer. A slow, lyrical
treatment of the same folk song serves as the middle section of the
piece. The final section is based on The Rake of Mallow and
makes use of ample percussion as the piece propels toward a powerful conclusion. Comment
on this piece.
