Dvorak - Serenade for strings - Mov. 4

Air On G String

Digital Album release: October 2015

Have you ever imagined eight cellos leading you in an energetic round through a colourful, energetic repertoire? Ô-Celli sweeps us away with a programme centred on dance, combining highly diverse influences with the discovery of rearranged works from the major repertoire and original pieces dedicated to this ensemble.
Stemming from the obvious, contagious passion of eight cellists, all chamber players and, for the most part, members of major symphony orchestras – including the La Monnaie Symphony Orchestra and Orchestre National de Lille –, here the octet takes up the wager of proposing original arrangements with mixed accents, thereby inviting us on a ‘custom-made’ journey organized round works by Strauss, Stravinsky, Borodin and the inevitable Astor Piazzolla, whilst honouring two talented young composers of our time: Harold Noben and Oriol Cruixent. Let yourself be tempted: Ô-Celli is going dancing!

8. Planxty Charles Bunworth And Rose and Kathleen’s Slip Jig
© Liz Carroll / Grow Your Own Music (BMI)

Liz Carroll (fiddle), Catriona McKay (harp), Kieran O’Hare (flute, tinwhistles, uilleann pipes), Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill (keyboard), Liz Knowles
(fiddle, hardanger d’amore 5+5), Trevor Hutchinson (acoustic bass)

From Liz's words in the CD Booklet, "Charles Bunworth (1704–1772), from County Cork, was a great proponent of Irish music, especially harp music, and was also a harpist himself. The instrument by John Kelly featured in the exhibition was made for Reverend Bunworth.

A planxty is a tune that honors or thanks someone. In respect to the word’s origin, Donal O’Sullivan writes the following in Carolan: The Life Times and Music of an Irish Harper: 'The tunes called Planxties . . . owe their origin, if not, as I believe, their names, to Carolan; and are to be regarded as a class of festive harp-tunes composed in honour of his patrons or hospitable entertainers, and, as such, only differing from his other airs composed for the same purpose in the greater gaiety and playfulness of their movements.'

The slip jig is a uniquely Irish dance to a tune in 9/8 time. "Rose and Kathleen’s Slip Jig" honors two of my fellow musicians, Rose Conway Flanagan (fiddle)and Kathleen Conneely (tinwhistle), wonderful players and teachers. The melody of the tune contains my own bow to Chicago in a blues progression to end the twelve-bar first part."

"IRELAND: Crossroads of Art and Design, 1690–1840 - The Music" is an album of music produced and performed by some of Irish music's most renowned musicians. The music was inspired by a collection of fine and decorative art that was part of an exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago between March and June of 2015.

Produced by Liz Carroll, Liz Knowles, and Marty Fahey, the album features music of the period, and also newly composed music by Liz Carroll which was inspired by the hundreds of years old music as well as the art from the exhibition itself.

All three of the producers play on the album. Fiddlers Liz Carroll and Liz Knowles are heard throughout, and are often leading an ensemble of exemplary musicians. The ensemble also take on solo pieces which honor the tradition of the traveling musicians of the period. These artists include keyboardist Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill, harpist Catriona McKay, uilleann piper Kieran O’Hare, pianist Marty Fahey, and Liz Knowles, too. Guest musicians include Jackie Moran, Trevor Hutchinson, Emer Mayock, Mick O'Brien, and Aoife Ní Bhriain.

The album, which had been for sale only via the Art Institute's web site and museum store, is now widely available via CD Baby, Claddagh Records, and OSSIAN USA, and at online stores everywhere.
