I know I’m prejudiced to all celtic music. But this piece has been so enjoyable to learn. I has intricate harmonies and lots of different patterns to keep it interesting and moving. Another great arrangement Carrie. Thank you.

Relaxing and most gentle. I find this style of music supports my anxieties about learning. It is gentle and beautiful. I do like the grace notes and the slow rolled chords. I find I try to do the chords too fast and listening to them in this piece helps me to see that slow and gentle is quite lovely. Thank you Carrie.
