“The so-called "Easter Rising" of 1916 was an important event for Irish Republicans seeking independence from Britain. The fighting lasted for six days and made a mark on Ireland’s history. It was immediately following this uprising that Sir Arnold Bax wrote the Elegiac Trio. An English composer by birth, Bax was introduced to all things Ireland by his brother, a writer by trade, and as a young adult Bax frequented the country and eventually moved there with his wife in 1914.” This is the recording of Elegiac Trio by Arnold Bax for the album "British Chamber Music for Flute, Viola and Harp Bax, Elgar, Mathias, Lloyd" ( http://www.harpandco.be ) .Played by : Rachel Talitman / Harp Pierre Henry Xuereb / Viola Marcos Fregnani Martins / Flute Directed, shoot and edited by Victor Assad Other camera / Paul Méranger Edit assistant / Cedric Wavreil Sound / Denis Guerdon Thanks to : Thomas Van Zuylen, Monika Rahman, Marine l'Hoir, Samuel Languy, Blaise Tricon, Jéremy Dellevalé, Raoul Joseph and the sisters.
