A setting of two traditional Irish folk songs: The Moorlough Shore recounts a young man's love for a girl who loves another, a sailor. She tells him she will wait seven years for her true love's return; in sorrow, the boy leaves his childhood home and sails away, pining for the girl he loves. The Humours of Whiskey depicts the joys and sorrows associated with this beloved beverage. The lively tempo and spirited energy invite the audience to join in the merriment – together, these tunes are a superb exercise in Irish-style playing and musical culture.
