The Island of Saints and Scholars is an old nickname for Ireland dating back to the early Middle Ages. This original work is a reflection upon Ireland's rich and turbulent history, which can be heard in the lyrical melodic phrases, ever-changing meter, and moments of dissonance. The rhythmic profile of the piece was suggested by a type of Old Irish verse that, among other features, carries seven syllables per line. The quiet opening gains in intensity during an extended stringendo into the fast-paced middle section (Vigorously), where watching and listening carefully are imperative. Later, a second extended stringendo guides the ensemble into the spirited finale (Presto).
