The Irish Washerwoman (from the <I>Irish Suite</I>) 組曲

愛爾蘭洗衣婦》是裡洛伊-安德森《愛爾蘭組曲》的第一樂章，將民間素材與作曲家自己的奇思妙想相結合。該樂曲由波士頓愛爾蘭協會委約創作，並獻給 1947 年 6 月 6 日在波士頓交響樂廳指揮首演的亞瑟-費德勒。全套組曲包括六段旋律，從懷舊到幽默，從樸素感傷到純粹奔放。雖然旋律來自海外，但這首出色的愛爾蘭組曲卻體現了安德森靈活的配器、巧妙的魅力和快樂的創造力。開頭的樂章是一首吉格舞曲，節奏明快，情緒歡快。這一新版本首次重新鐫刻了完整的樂譜，使整部作品的銜接更加統一"

原文簡介:
The Irish Washerwoman, the first movement of Leroy Anderson’s Irish Suite, combines folk material with the composer’s own whimsicality. The score was commissioned by the Eire Society of Boston and carries a dedication to Arthur Fiedler, who conducted its first performance on June 6, 1947 at Symphony Hall in Boston. The complete suite includes six melodies which range from the nostalgic to the humorous, from the plainly sentimental to the purely exuberant. Although the melodies come from overseas, the brilliant Irish Suite is typical of Anderson’s nimble orchestration, ingenious charm, and happy inventiveness. This opening movement is a jig; brisk in tempo and gay in mood. This new edition has been freshly re-engraved with a full-score for the first time, permitting articulation uniformity throughout the work.
