Bunscoil Loreto, Gorey, Co. Wexford - Primary Finalist 2017

'Musical Journey', performed by the 40-strong Bunscoil Loreto Orchestra. Primary School Finalist in the 2017 Waltons Music for Schools Competition, a national competition and celebration of music in Irish schools. ADDRESSING THIS YEAR’S COMPETITION THEME, MUSIC HAS NO BORDERS Having brainstormed many ideas to illustrate this year’s theme, the group developed a storyline that was current and relevant to their town. The piece begins in rural Hungary. The group plays the slow section of Vittorio Monti’s Csárdás to set the scene in which a young couple with their baby leave their family and friends in search of a better life. They journey to Ireland across land and sea borders. The music changes to ‘Raglan Road’ as the couple settle into Ireland and learn the traditions and customs of the country. Later the couple take a trip home with their daughter now grown into a little girl, and ‘Raglan Road’ has also gone through quite the transformation. As the family are reunited, they share stories and admire their granddaughter. Music is the background to the lives of these people and is also the backdrop of our own lives. It travelled with the family despite the physical borders they encountered, and music accompanied the varied emotions they felt. Music is with us in times of great sorrow and in times of celebration, as music has no borders. See www.newschool.ie/musicforschools for more information.
