Tiny Tots Music of the World: The Irish Washerwoman

Описание: Leroy Anderson’s Irish Suite was commissioned by the Boston Pops Orchestra in 1947 and he composed most of the work in just 11 days. Each movement of the six-movement suite features a different traditional Irish tune.

The Irish Washerwoman is the first movement of the suite. It’s a lively jig that originated in the British Isles and is now well-known across the world. A jig is a style of dance and music that traditional features the Celtic fiddle and is usually bouncy and upbeat. The dance is a combination of hops and steps that repeat themselves over and over again.

At our Tiny Tots programs in February 2020, little ones and their grown-ups were encircled by our orchestra and special guest performers for a musical tour of the world. We played music from more than 12 different countries and cultures and featured 14 amazing individual guest artists. Here are just a few highlights with some activities to go with them:
