Description
While recently traveling on holiday in Ireland, I made note of 14 melodies that came to me. Ten of those tunes have been strung together to comprise the "Celtic Suite."
The original idea was to develop each melody using the traditional Irish instruments available in GarageBand, as if various musicians were showing up to join in a session. That conception, however, disappeared almost immediately when I played piano instead of harp on the first tune. Oops! After that, each melody went its own way - sometimes with a nod to the traditional, sometimes not.
The goal here was taking the raw melodies and formalizing them - yet trying to keep the presentation informal (if that makes any sense).
The title drawing, "Three Musicians," was made in a pub in Killarney.
