About

When National Geographic made a television special on the Irish horse, The Chieftains were asked to provide the music. The score, reproduced on this record, was composed and arranged by Paddy Moloney, and captures among other things, the excitement of the hunt, the chaos of the fair, and the boisterous atmosphere of the racecourse.
