Additional info/contents	A rhapsody is defined as a “folkloristic narrative piece”. In his “Kilkenny Rhapsody” Kees Vlak even goes one step further, because his intention is to capture the essence of the people and country and also to musically implement geographical peculiarities. Ireland is a treasure trove for a rhapsodic approach, because in addition to romantic melodies such as “The Foggy Day” or “The Gentle Maiden”, popular dances such as jig, reel or hornpipe, often characterized by the sound of the flute and snare drum, offer wonderful musical performances Possibilities. The “Green Island” - “Éire”, as the Irish call their beloved homeland - rises up out of the thick fog. Songs and dances of unmistakably Celtic origin then alternate, ultimately leading to an effective climax. The fog falls in again: the theme of a dance echoes quietly. The “Kilkenny Rhapsody” ends with one of those melancholic Irish tunes that are at home in rustic Irish pubs. Introduktion; The Gentle Maiden; Single Jig; The Foggy Dew; Hornpipe; Irish Jig; Irish Air (Epilog)
