This two-part reel was composed as part of a compositional project I had the pleasure to take part in during my first year in UCD, overseen by the legendary Dónal Lunny.

As students we were given the task by Dónal and the module coordinator, Peter Moran, to compose a short tune which we would teach to the class and later perform together at a showcase concert.

I wrote this tune in light of a facebook post that was circulating around the time of my granduncle Paddy’s death, as he was the final son of my grandmother to pass away. The picture showed the four brothers, all of whom died prematurely, in their youth, to which the caption read ‘Today they are finally reunited in heaven’. This tune is dedicated to their memory.
