Kila - Handel's Fantasy

This is the 1993 debut from Irelands Kila which was a cassette only release. Largely acoustic, this album consists of several original compositions performed in the traditional vein with a few exceptions bearing a more contemporary style, most notably "B'fhéidir." Acoustic guitar, electric bass and percussion provide the rhythm for Kila's music while fiddle, tin whistles and uilleann pipes generally carry the melodies. The most interesting piece on this album is the title track that combines Arcangelo Corelli's 17th century piece "La Folia" with the traditional-Irish "Mulhaires Reel" and Kila wind player Colm O Snodaigh's "Handel's Fantasy."
