The Heart's Cry (from Riverdance) Bill Whelan / Arr. Sean O'Loughlin

Grade 3 - Concert Band Series

The music and spectacle of Bill Whelan's Riverdance forever changed how we look at Celtic music. The Heart's Cry is one of the most magical and lush ballads from the production, beautifully scored here for winds by Sean O'Loughlin. The opening solo flute statement is answered by the ensemble in chorale style with the distinctive and close harmonies of the original.
