The Brendan Voyage Movt. 05 - 'The Cliffs of Mykines'

With his first major work, 'The Brendan Voyage' (1980), Shaun Davey opened up totally new musical territory. For the first time, in a suite especially written for uilleann pipes soloist Liam O'Flynn, a traditional musician was integrated with a classical orchestra. The uilleann pipe passages in the Brendan suite, capturing all the force, emotion and beauty of Irish traditional music, here blend with the symphony orchestra in a synthesis of old and new which has enchanted audiences around the world.

The Cliffs of Mykines is the fifth movement of this ten movement work and is scored for full orchestra and uilleann pipes.
