Naomi: I did an Irish program with harp last year and we enjoyed very much doing the Benjamin Britten settings of Irish folk songs such as "The Last Rose of Summer", etc. Although they are traditional works, the artistry of his arrangements was very satisfying artistically and they moods they evoked were very wonderful for the audience. Got lots of good comments on them. These are available easily in a book from Boosey & Hawkes, "Folksong Arrangements", not sure which volume.
