The Celtic by (Dave) D.C. Heath Gerard McChrystal FISP 2016

This piece is included on the CD that first introduced me to your playing over 20 years ago.
I love the variety of colors you're able to get from your instrument -- for example, the quiet ending of the second movement reminds me of the uilleann pipes.

thanks! touched by your kind comments. I love uilleann pipes and having worked with the great Liam O' Flynn I'm sure his beautiful playing has remained with me. th-cam.com/video/6xwmFfh2C8M/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for that link -- beautiful and moving. When the pipes entered, I let out a sigh...

Hi, I was wondering what the range of the sop part is for this work? I'm looking for celtic and folk inspired rep just like this for my final recital but I can't hear if the sop part stretches a little too high into harmonics, which I'm not sure I could hack on soprano. This is beautiful, many thanks!

Hey Hannah.Glad you like. It goes to top F# so no altissimo.

Who publishes the orchestra score and parts? I need to rent it and can't find anything but the piano reduction or the original version for violin.
Help?
