This Irish quick-step can be traced back to the early 1680s, but it is most well-known as the nickname for the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the U.S. Army after the Irish Air was adopted as their march tune in 1867. It is appropriate for the intermediate player familiar with a chord-melody playing style. The arrangement is flexible because it can stand alone as a solo, a duet with two standards, or a trio with either the baritone (tuned ADA) or bass part. Participants will receive a conductor�s score in addition to individual parts and an audio reference track.
