Featuring Dan Barrett on Trombone
I recorded this with Dan when he was visiting Ireland whilst on his latest European tour. His powerful trombone sound was the perfect expression for the love of a father, be it one’s own or ones sacred father! I based the arrangement on a tune from the publication Hymns Old and New; A Athair Dhílis an AonMhic (Dear Father of the Only Son). The text asks for God’s guidance through life.
Irish-Australian cellist and composer Ilse de Ziah has a deep passion for composing, arranging and performing music for the cello. Using traditional Irish melodies as source material, she creates contemporary arrangements perfectly suited for the cello. With the marriage of classical detail and folkloric tradition, this makes for a transcendent musical experience.
