Description
This dramatic setting uses voices and piano to imitate traditional Irish instruments. It tells the tale of a warrior bard who falls in battle. Just before perishing, the soldier chooses to destroy his harp rather than his sword, because he fears music falling into the wrong hands more than he fears physical violence. A favorite of service personnel, the Irish air is perfect for tributes and memorials.
