This original piece has joyful and optimistic characters and presents two contrasting themes. Moving from the initial rhythmic, fiddling-style section into the warm lyricism of old Celtic air and back to the rhythmic theme, all parts are musically engaging and encourage cohesive energy in the ensemble. Featured syncopation, some third position for the first violins, and rapid string crossing figures provide the right amount of challenge. Clever bow technique and fun rolled into one!
