Programme Note
Crannóg’s are artificial Islands which were built in Neolithic Ireland and used as homes.
A Cran is also an uilleann piping ornament and the word Óg means young.
This piece is short like a young person and there are lots of cran ornaments used in it.
It is based upon a jig melody I composed. This melody is the basis for the entire piece.
I composed it in one night in my Aunt Dolores’ house, where I lived for a short time after returning from Ireland from 2 years in London.
