“My Lagan Love” is an Irish folk tune that evokes almost magical beauty. Its melodic simplicity lends itself to great freedom in choosing from a lush harmonic pallet. In this se=ng the sparse opening harmonies and the solo presentation of the melody in Alto Saxophone (cued in Oboe) precede a gradual thickening of the harmonic textures. The full ensemble presents the melody again with fresh new harmonic treatment and leads to a moment of high musical drama. The piece ends with the quiet intensity with which it began.
