Mark Sirett: Beltane  

  
The text for this work is comprised of several traditional May Day carols and sonnets from a variety of sources ranging from the medieval era to the 17th century. Musically, the work embraces many different styles, but is largely a tribute to the folk traditions of Ireland, Scotland, and Brittany. It is scored for SATB chorus, Children's or Women's Choir, and Chamber Orchestra (flute, oboe, harp, percussion and strings). Duration: ca. 15 mins.
