This is a new, digitally enhanced reprint of the score originally
published in 1897 by Arthur P. Schmidt. Amy Beach's only symphony
is fully representative of her late Romantic style. Composed in
1896, the work makes use of several Irish folksongs as thematic
material. The Gaelic symphony received favorable reviews and was
subsequently performed by orchestras in both the USA and Europe in
the years leading up to the World War I. Like most music of the
American late-Romantic school, this lovely symphony was sadly
neglected until recently. Thanks to an increased interest in the
works of women composers and a general revival of interest in the
American late-Romantic school, the Gaelic Symphony has seen a fair
number of performances and recordings in recent years.
