Lakeside Mazurka


The Lakeside Mazurka (Clipped Mazurka)

Composed in 2007 for the larger piece  Errigal Suitethis tune is influenced by the rhythms in an unusual multi-metred mazurka recorded by John Doherty and subsequently Altan. I call it a ‘clipped’ mazurka, because the 3/4 rhythm is occasionally clipped into 2/4.
