No markings found. From Boosey & Hawkes: Composer's noteThe inspiration for the original 7-minute production of Riverdance for the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest was the life of a river. Cloudsong begins the piece, the lyric telling the story of the origins of the river and its journey towards the sea, nourishing the land as it flows through it. Bill Whelan has worked extensively in theatre and film. He was appointed composer to the WB Yeats International Theatre Festival at Ireland’s National Abbey Theatre in 1989, writing original music for 15 Yeats plays. His adaptation of HMS Pinafore received a Laurence Olivier Award nomination. His compositional work in film includes original scores for Dancing At Lughnasa starring Meryl Streep, Some Mother’s Son starring Helen Mirren and Lamb starring Liam Neeson. Music for television includes The Seven Ages – Sean Ó Mordha’s history of the Irish State. The Seville Suite was his first large scale orchestral work, commissioned for Ireland’s National Day at Expo ‘92 in Seville. The Spirit Of Mayo followed in 1993. The Connemara Suite, a trilogy of pieces written for chamber orchestra, premiered in Carnegie Hall in March 2005. The world premiere of the Riverdance Symphonic Suite, performed by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, took place at the National Concert Hall in Dublin in May 2012.
