Description
Bring the lyrical charm of Charles Villiers Stanford’s Six Irish Folk Songs into the intimate world of the string quartet with this expressive new arrangement for 2 Violins, Viola, and Cello.
Stanford’s original choral settings (Op. 78) draw on beloved Irish melodies and the poetry of Thomas Moore. This quartet version preserves the warmth and melodic clarity of the folk tunes while offering rich, idiomatic writing for strings. Each movement highlights a different facet of Irish musical character — from tender lament to spirited dance — making the set ideal for concerts, recitals, weddings, and cultural events.
Features
• Faithful adaptation of Stanford’s melodic and harmonic language
• Clear, balanced part‑writing suitable for intermediate to advanced ensembles
• Six contrasting movements, each with its own expressive identity
• Includes full score and individual parts
A beautiful addition to any quartet’s repertoire, celebrating Ireland’s musical heritage through Stanford’s refined Romantic voice.
