Budawanny

The music on this CD is comprised of the soundtracks of 2 films made in the 1980's, directed by Irish film-maker Bob Quinn; and an arrangement of an old Irish song.

The music for the feature film Budawanny played a central role in the film, and was uninterrupted by any talking over it (a composer's dream). It has elements of Irish traditional music, European art music and middle-eastern music. Budawanny (1987) was shot mainly as a silent movie, in black and white, with captions appearing when people spoke.

The Budawanny music is presented here as a 42 minute suite, existing as a theme and variations and a listening experience independant from the film.

Also included is the music for Bob Quinn's Atlantean trilogy and an arrangement of a sean-nos song sung in Irish by Sarah Grealish.
