It is interesting how Cowell can go from works of heart-wrenching beauty to those that positively assail the ears and then back to phenomenal beauty again within the course of only a few pieces. While the concept he employs here is quite groundbreaking, I must say I find this particular piece to be unpalatably piercing.

This is terrific. Is it available on any recordings?

The banshee is not a family ghost- she is a woman fairy (bean being woman and si being fairy) who sits wailing and combing her hair at the time of death and a lepechaun is not a gnome cobbler.
