Old Irish Melody for Violin, Cello and Piano
Transcribed by Fritz and Hugo Kreisler | Edited by Flavio Regis Cunha
Step into the haunting beauty of one of the most beloved Celtic melodies ever written. Farewell to Cucullain (Londonderry Air) transforms the timeless Irish folk song into a deeply expressive chamber music experience filled with nostalgia, warmth, and lyrical elegance.
Immortalized by legendary artists such as Yo-Yo Ma and Kathryn Stott, this moving arrangement captures the soul of Irish musical tradition through soaring violin lines, rich cello sonorities, and a sensitive piano accompaniment that together create an atmosphere of profound emotional resonance.
Carefully edited by conductor and arranger Flavio Regis Cunha, this performance-ready edition was designed for musicians who seek both artistic refinement and practical clarity. Whether performed in recital halls, festivals, weddings, memorial services, educational settings, or intimate chamber concerts, this arrangement offers a captivating musical journey for performers and audiences alike.
