The Isle of Anglesey (Welsh: Ynys Mon) lies just off the coast of Wales. This island contains the largest seaport bringing passengers to and from Ireland. In this charming arrangement, two traditional Welsh and Irish airs are combined and woven throughout the orchestra, bridging the waters between these beautiful lands.

This traditional Ethiopian folk song is an ancient warrior cry. The pounding of the drums stirs up a sense of anticipation and bravery - a call to war heard in the driving percussion. In addition to playing double-stops and heavy accented rhythms, players will get to practice reading music in cut time. Powerful!
