The lowest-priced, brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable). Rather than functioning as a single piece of music, the score to Dancing at Lughnasa appears as a series of short musical vignettes. Although released on the Sony Classical label, the score owes as much to Windham Hill as Claude Debussy or Modest Moussourgsky. Read full description.
Bill Whelan (of Riverdance fame) scored the film adaptation of Brian Friel's play Dancing at Lughnasa. His score is a mix of Celtic themes and light classical arrangements, with more than a little of new age's mellowness. Several lovely, patient melodies appear throughout the 19 tracks collected here, many of which clock in at under two minutes. The sum effect is of a ghost half-glimpsed or a welling of warm feelings too soon subdued. Flute and oboe often take the lead role, simply stating the melody while the strings rise and fall in a series of sighs
