A Celt on the Great Wall (1st Mov't)--Matthew Tran-Adams

This is an experiment using one of my works called "A Celt on the Great Wall". This piece combines Chinese folk music with Irish folk music. I was testing to see if I could play two separate parts at the same time using a "picture in picture" function in iMovie. It works! . . . now I just have to tune my piano and make sure the flute stays in tune :)

@singingflutelady No, I haven't published this but if you are interested in performing it I would be happy to discuss this with you. It is a two movement work based on both Irish and Chinese folk songs. Please feel free to email me at tranadams@rogers.com. Thanks for your compliment :)

wow!! amazing, kesh jig! love how you incorporated that, you have a real flair for arrangement, lovely accompaniment too, it really started to get grand towards the end, how many instruments do you play by the way?

[WorldComposer]

@chansherly212 Thanks!!! I play a few instruments like you do ;) Piano, flute and harp are my main ones . . . but I play a few others. I do some work as a composer so this is meant to be more of a "classical" piece. It has two movements which I would love to record.
