from Compositions by Elaine Hogan
I wrote this tune in 2019, it was a time of great change and upheaval in my life and this tune was a reflection of that. Balto refers to Baltinglass in Co. Wicklow. I composed this tune on the fiddle at home and played it as the title track of my solo album “In Three Minds”.
