The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.
from Compositions by Nuala Kennedy
Composed for friend and fiddler Troy MacGillivray; I associate G Minor with the fiddle so I thought I’d try a tune in that key in his honour. Troy is also the name of a tiny village in Cape Breton Island, which sports a comically huge neon sign announcing “Downtown Troy”. It always cracks me up when I see it.
