May
We Never Have To Say Goodbye
Shaun Davey
To coinside with Shaun's concert in Dublin's
National Concert Hall on July 11th our CD of the month is
May We Never Have To Say Goodbye - TARA 4017. The title
track composed for the Opening Ceremony of the Special Olympics
World Summer Games in 2003 and is presented here with the
rest of the music from the unique and exhilarating suite
for that occasion. The album, which features an array of
Irelands leading artists, includes previously unrecorded
pieces from Shauns dramatic concert work, 'The Pilgrim',
featuring the rare and full-blooded combination of bagpipes
and orchestra with percussion and choir, and the unusual
sound of the Galician Gaita. Also included are the popular
and evocative song 'Fill to me the Parting Glass' composed
for the film 'Waking Ned', and a magical piece Music
of the Spheres, from the RSCs production of
'Pericles' which represents Shaun Davey's contribution to
theatre both at home and abroad over the past 20 years.

Elements of Riverdance -----------------------------------
Although
the Riverdance Show and its music appeared to be an overnight
success, elements of the Riverdance music had been developing
over many years prior to the phenomenon that is Riverdance.
TARA would like to bring to your attention five albums that
would be regarded as precursors to Riverdance.
Bill Whelan's 'The Seville Suite' - 'EastWind' by Andy Irvine
& Davy Spillane - 'Out of the Air' by The Davy Spillane
Band - Davy Spillane's 'Pipedreams' - 'The Storm' by Moving
Hearts
