This work, based on Manx folk-songs, is founded on four of these tunes. The first, "The Good Old Way", is an old and typical air written mostly in the Dorian mode. The major portion of this tune was probably added about 1882, following on the introduction on Primative Methodism into the Isle of Man.

The second tune, which introduces the lively section of the work, is a reel - "The Manx Fiddler". Chaloner, writing in the middle of the seventeenth century, remarked that the Manx people were 'much addicted to the music of the violyne, so that there is scarce a family in the Island, but more or less can play upon it; but as they are ill composers, so are they bad players.'

The third tune, "Sweet Water In The Common", relates to the old practice of summoning a jury of twenty-four men, comprised of three men from each of the parishes in the district where the dispute took place, to decide questions connected with watercourses, boundaries, etc.

The fourth and last tune is a fine old hymn, "The Harvest Of The Sea", sung by the fishermen as a song of thanksgiving after their safe return from the fishing grounds.

Technical Notes: The Bass Drum/Cymbals part is labeled "Side Drum, Bass Drum & Cymbals".

Estimated Performance Time: 10:00
