From the stirring tradition ‘O’Sullivan’s March’ featured in ‘Rob Roy’ to the light-hearted and evocative tunes written by Michael Kamen for ‘Circle of Friends’ to the bare-knuckle fighting music written by John Williams for ‘Far and Away’, the presence of The Chieftains brings an authentic Irish energy to the soundtrack of any film. This album also includes such varied forays into film music composition as ‘Treasure Island’, ‘Barry Lyndon’, ‘Tristan and Isolde’, and ‘The Grey Fox’. For The Chieftains, the joy of creating music for films is matched only by the fun they have playing this music in concert before a live audience.
