Gaelic Trilogy by Jim Palmer provides the string orchestra with an opportunity to perform three Irish fiddle tunes: "Faired Hair Mary," "Neil Gow's Lament," and "Stray Away Child." All sections, including the basses, get a chance to play beautiful melodies as well as interesting accompaniments. Including three distinct styles and tempos, this exciting piece is a great introduction to Irish fiddling. (4:50)
