Jim Dalton
Gifts of the Bard for Mandolin Solo. Inspired by Irish mythological tales which relate the three skills a bard must possess, the work is structured in three movements that bear the names and character of these gifts: Goltraí (sorrowful music), Geantraí (mirthful music), and Suantraí (sleep-inducing music). The three movements are played without pause.
