Two poignant and beloved Irish airs have been combined with deft handling and nostalgic beauty.  The "duet" is conveyed as the women of the choir sing Danny Boy against the men's response with the text from Down By The Sally Gardens.  The antiphony of these intermingled texts creates a bittersweet dialogue between two lovers - you'll be convinced they were written for each other!  The musical mood is haunting and the blending of these previously independent poems is effectively supported by a tasteful and unifying accompaniment......familiar material handled in a most individual way.
