Briochan and Columba ڰۣڿڰۣ ♥ ڰۣڿڰۣ SHAUN DAVEY

De Luce Brera / Album The Pilgrim Composed by Shaun Davey / 8.Briochan And Columba: City of Glasgow Pipeband and orchestra. Briochan was the chief of King Brude MacMaelchon's druids with whom St. Columba (Colum Cille) had many legendary battles of will during his mission to Scotland in the time of the Picts. The legend converts this confrontation into a series of magic duels by which the founder of the monastery on Iona won the respect of the Scottish king. Sleeve Notes A Celtic Suite for Orchestra, Soloists, Pipe Band and Choir. The Pilgrim' was first released as an album at the end of 1983. It consists of a selection of pieces from` The Lorient Festival Suite', commissioned by the Lorient Interceltic Festival and mostly recorded live at its debut performance in Brittany earlier that year. The proposal by the Committee des Fetes had appeared to be straightforward: a suite for orchestra and celtic soloists representing the seven Celtic countries or regions (Scotland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, Galicia). Thus conceived it was to be an expansion of an idea central to the `Brendan Voyage' in which a traditional soloist performs with an orchestra. The previous year, 1982, with uilleann piper Liam O'Flynn and specially assembled festival orchestras this work had, received debut live performances in Brittany. In Lorient a large and enthusiastic audience had, with typical Breton generosity, demanded and received four encores. One calm summer evening at dusk one year later, I stood with conductor Noel Kelehan beside the stage in the football stadium and watched that same 5000-strong audience return for the premiere of the new suite. During the 20 minutes before the performance began, the focus of seven months effort seemed to narrow into two main concerns. Firstly, although still at a level that was hard to articulate, there lurked in my mind the suspicion that the suite was marred by flaws resulting from the creation of a large design in too short a time. Secondly and despite everyone's commitment and hard work, I knew that the concert was likely to have technical problems. Thus shrouded in the heavy mists of personal responsibility I engaged in the traditional exchange of an impolite french word festival president Pierre Guergadic and that sense of fatalism which comes to those for whom time has run out. By the end of the evening, thanks in part to the patient support of the large festival audience, the concert came to a successful conclusion and those pieces which has been the more obvious favourites were replayed as encores. The following day, however, praise was mixed with criticism: for example, did I not feel, I was asked on radio, that the suite was merely a patchwork? Such implied lack of cohesion was unavoidably evident in the ensuing 'Pilgrim' album which contained selected highlights and which, due to the limitations of vinyl, halved the suites running time of 80 minutes. On the other hand if the suites was indeed a patchwork, I wondered, could any such collection of widely differing pieces avoid being so? Certainly, I was forced to admit, unlike the 'Brendan Voyage' the 'Pilgrim' had no narrative thread to hold it together, Yet it did have the drama of successive soloists and celtic ensembles and with them was implied a sense of journey. In time I came to recognise that my initial failure to formalise that journey, to make it explicit and in so doing to explain why it takes place was perhaps something that could be put right for future performances. Correspondingly I began to feel that some pieces could be improved, some omitted altogether and that other entirely new pieces could be included in their stead. What in fact was needed was the occasion to revise the 'Pilgrim' suite from top to bottom. http://www.taramusic.com/sleevenotes/... http://web.me.com/shauncarrickdavey/S... http://www.irishcultureandcustoms.com... http://www.oodegr.com/english/biograp... http://www.shorecottage.co.uk/tourist...
