Programming secular choral music can sometimes be hampered by either works that are too long or too short. And how to represent the Celtic nations in one piece?

This arrangement of three Celtic folksongs was put together for Reading Festival Chorus as part of a secular programme of pieces, providing the listener with something familiar but set in a slight more 'modern' manner than that which we are accustomed to hearing.

Scotland, Wales and Ireland are represented here with three well-known and well-loved folksongs put together as an entertaining sing and a relaxing listen. I do hope you enjoy performing them!
