A Walk in an Irish Garden for Flute and Piano 長笛 鋼琴 長笛(含鋼琴伴奏)

這本歌曲集是詹姆斯-哥爾韋爵士的長期編曲人大衛-奧弗頓為他創作和編排的音樂會曲目。它們都在一定程度上以傳統愛爾蘭旋律為基礎。前三首曲調對比鮮明： "旋轉之歌"、優美的慢板旋律 "她穿過集市 "和更快節奏的 "唐郡之星"。這三首曲子的長笛和鋼琴原版非常成功，因此奧弗頓應邀創作了弦樂和管弦樂版本，同樣獲得了成功，並成為哥爾韋音樂會的固定曲目。"Badinereelerie "是一首更加輕鬆愉快的作品，1984 年首次為詹姆斯-哥爾韋爵士創作。此後，他曾無數次演奏過這首曲子，其中包括為長笛和管弦樂隊創作的版本。這首曲子將巴赫（以及亨德爾和其他音樂家的作品）的旋律與愛爾蘭傳統曲調，甚至一些英國傳統曲調巧妙地融合在一起，令世界各地的聽眾大呼過癮。這首曲子令人振奮的結尾部分可選擇改用便士哨，哥爾韋寫道："我一直在利用這種做法"

原文簡介:
This collection of songs were written and arranged for Sir James Galway as concert pieces by David Overton, his longtime arranger. They are all based to some extent on traditional Irish Melodies. The first three are contrasting tunes: “Spinning Song,” the beautiful slow melody “She moved through the fair,” and the more up-tempo “Star of the County Down.” These were so successful in the original flute and piano version, as printed here, that Overton was requested to write versions for strings and for orchestra, which were equally successful and have formed a regular part of Galway's concert repertoire. “Badinereelerie” is more light-hearted work, first written for Sir James Galway in 1984. Since then, he has played it countless times as printed here, and in a version for flute and orchestra. The surprising mixture of Bach (and Handel and others) with reels and Irish traditional tunes, and even a few English traditional tunes thrown in for good measure, has delighted audiences all over the world. The piece's rousing conclusion includes an optional switch to penny whistle, a practice that Galway writes, “I have always taken advantage of.”
