DESCRIPTION
Enchanted Isle is a suite of Irish folk songs in special, easy-to-play arrangements for viola with piano accompaniment. The twelve traditional folk song arrangements cover a range of moods, some lyrical and romantic, others fun and familiar. These are all charming and original arrangements of traditional Irish music imbued with simple, natural beauty, while the set ends in high comedy with the song, Mister Grumguffenhoff! This is a real showpiece finale that includes pizzicato effects.
