Dublin Pictures - M1837.12 | Music

Irland is a very versatile country with a characteristic and popular musical culture. The first movement of "Dublin Picture" reminds of the typical Irish festivals, where people dance and drink Irish beer. The second movemnt is calmer, symbolizing the veiw from the Ha’penny Bridge over the river Liffey in Dublin. The mixture of singing voices, wind instruments, percussions and soloist draw a wonderful picture. With lively and happy rhythms of the third movement, we visit Temple Bar, the famous tourist quarter and its night life. As a contrast to the previous movements, this part is full of energy and virtous motifs.
Marc Jeanbourquin wrote this piece for Azimut Brass in 2011 and arranged it for concertband a few years later.
