"The Island of Saints and Scholars" is an old nickname for Ireland dating back to the early Middle Ages. This original work is a reflection upon Ireland’s rich and turbulent history, which can be heard in the lyrical melodic phrases, ever-changing meter, and moments of dissonance. The rhythmic profile of the piece was suggested by a type of Old Irish verse that carries seven syllables per line, resulting in a vibrant and spirited musical experience.
