HOW IMPORTANT IS MUSIC IN YOUR LIFE?

The first music Derek Foley remembers in Peeling-Oranges is the sound of church bells (St Patrick’s cathedral in the Liberties). As he grows older he thinks that there is no pure sound and even bells have a ‘rhetoric’. As an adult he steered away from the traditional ceili music which Sinead liked and grew fond of classical music such as, after his return from Spain, Rodrigo’s Fantasia para un gentilhombre. On their honeymoon Martha danced flamenco in her attempt to arouse Patrick.
