Tune of the Day: Maguire's Kick

This jig first appears in Francis O'Neill's Music of Ireland (Chicago, 1903). Collector George Petrie, whom Paul de Grae believes is O'Neill's source for the tune, describes it as a “rebel's march in 1798”, a reference to the Irish Rebellion of 1798 against the British Crown.

Tune of the Day: Les Dragons d'Alcala

This piece originally came just before Act 2 of Bizet's famous opera Carmen. It's a little march, later sung by Don José, concerning his military platoon. The lighthearted air was later also included as an instrumental piece in Carmen Suite No. 1, where the theme is introduced by the bassoons, and then, as usual, distributed among the woodwinds for its few repetitions.
