Ever               since               the               Irish               troops               serving               in               the               English               military               first               merrily               paraded               through               New               York               City               on               March               17,               1762,               Irish               (and               other               non-Irish)               Americans               have               only               grown               fonder               of               the               annual               celebration               of               Ireland's               favorite               saint.

A               lot               of               cross-cultural               artifacts               have               accumulated               as               well               as               the               Americanization               of               certain               Irish               stereotypes               that               would               surprise               many               real               Irish               to               hear               about.

In               an               effort               to               reintroduce               the               true               essence               of               Ireland               into               the               now               over-saturated               sea               of               commercialized               Irishy               stuff               a               group               of               Irish               whose               fondness               for               America               is               second               only               to               their               love               for               their               original               culture               got               together               and               created               a               truly               Irish               music-theater               gala               spectacle               to               be               hosted               by               the               Irish               composer/conductor               Eimear               Noone               and               headlined               by               prominent               Irish               stars               (such               as               Roma               Downey,               Pierce               Brosnan,               and               others)               for               this               year's               St.

Patrick's               Day               celebration.

"This               Is               Ireland"               opens               on               March               17th               at               University               of               California               -               Los               Angeles               (UCLA)'s               Royce               Hall.

With               the               help               of               Jan               Kean               at               Kean               &               Kolar               Communications               I               got               to               ask               Eimear               Noone               (pronounced               'Eeeeemer'),               the               show's               host               and               conductor,               a               few               questions:               Smorg:               Do               you               remember               how               you               got               into               playing               the               piano               at               age               3?

Was               that               your               choice               or               was               it               something               that               your               parents               wanted               you               to               do?
               Eimear               Noone:               Actually,               my               first               time               on               stage,               I               believe               I               was               singing.

I               don't               remember               whose               choice               it               was               but               my               parents               have               always               supported               my               every               endeavor.
               In               Ireland               ,               if               a               child               has               a               talent               for               a               particular               activity               they               are               encouraged               enormously.

I               studied               at               a               tiny               school               in               the               West               of               Ireland               and               was               constantly               encouraged,               playing               in               groups               and               singing               solos               in               the               choir.

It               was               a               combination               of               something               I               loved               with               the               support               of               the               adults               -               family               and               teachers               -               around               me.
               Smorg:You               also               play               the               flute,               actually               holding               a               degree               in               concert               flute               along               with               composition               and               performance               from               Trinity               College               Dublin.

What               drew               you               to               the               instrument?

Do               you               still               play               it               regularly?

Any               favorite               composition               for               the               flute?
               EN:A               friend               of               the               family               had               a               wooden               traditional               Irish               flute               and               I               went               from               there               to               concert               flute.

Yes,               I               still               play               from               time               to               time.

My               favorite               piece               of               repertoire               to               play               was               always               "Density               21.5"               by               Edgar               Varése.
               Smorg:               Having               grown               up               in               very               musical               Ireland               and               now               also               teaching               film               score               conducting               for               UCLA               Extension's               Music               Program,               what               is               your               impression               of               music               education               here               in               the               USA               ?

What               can               American               schools               do               better               to               promote               musical               interest               in               our               kids?
               EN:The               USA               is               such               a               vast               country               and               I've               seen               enormous               variation               in               educational               standards               and               backgrounds               as               one               would               expect.

By               and               large,               the               majority               of               students               I               work               with               have               already               completed               at               least               an               undergraduate               degree               and               dedicated               themselves               to               their               craft               so               I               can't               really               comment               on               general               music               education.

In               terms               of               school               children:               I               believe               that               every               child               should               have               access               to               a               musical               education.

There's               so               much               more               to               studying               an               aesthetic               discipline               than               most               people               realize.

Studying               music               has               proven               a               cognitive               developmental               benefit               for               children.
               Smorg:               If               you               ask               the               average               American               to               name               an               Irish               music               tune               you'd               most               likely               hear               something               like               'Greensleeves'               or               'Danny               Boy'               or               'Riverdance'               back.

Are               these               representative               of               Irish               music?

Is               there               any               particular               essence               that               is               characteristic               to               Irish               music?

(For               example:               Bulgarian               folk               songs               tend               to               be               story-telling               or               related               to               local               folk               lore,               and               sounding               pretty               dissonant               and               set               to               irregular               meter;               Chinese               music               is               based               on               the               pentatonic               scale               and               tend               to               sound               like               the               sound               of               the               bamboo               forest;               Italian               songs               have               characteristic               melodic               archs;               while               French               songs               tend               to               be               very               chromatic,               etc).
               EN:               Danny               Boy               is               based               on               the               tune               "The               Derry               Air"               (the               lyric               of               "Danny               Boy"               was               actually               written               by               an               English               lawyer               -               Frederic               Weatherly)               and               Greensleeves               is               an               English               tune,               sometimes               folk               lore               attributes               its               composition               to               King               Henry               VIII!

Like               most               cultures,               traditional               Irish               music               has               its               worksongs,               its               laments,               its               love-songs               etc.

I               love               the               way               a               traditional               Irish               air               sung               unaccompanied               in               a               pub               in               Ireland               will               silence               every               being               in               the               room.

To               run               the               risk               of               being               terribly               crude               and               breaking               down               traditional               Irish               tunes               into               a               few               simplistic               techniques,               a               couple               of               common               traits               would               be               the               use               of               the               Mixolydian               mode               and               repetition               of               the               tonic               at               the               end               of               a               melody.

I               love               the               way               Bill               Whelan               -               the               composer               of               Riverdance               -               uses               traditional               Irish               modes/techniques/flavors,               alive               with               fantastic               rhythms               and               brings               the               freshness               of               someone               whose               musical               voice               resonates               with               the               spirit               of               other               great               world               musics.
               Smorg:               Your               career               has               spanned               so               many               variety               of               music               genre;               classical,               ballet,               film,               rock/pop,               and               even               video               game               music               (you               seem               like               a               modern               days               version               of               Erich               Korngold!)!

Which               of               these               do               you               find               the               most               challenging?
               EN:               It               always               depends               on               the               situation               I'm               in,               the               performers,               composers               etc.

Of               course,               generally               speaking,               conducting               Stravinsky               is               going               to               be               more               challenging               that               recording               a               pop               album!

One               of               the               reasons               I               love               LA               is               that               I               love               the               musical               diversity.

I               remember               one               particular               week               when               I               worked               with               the               same               musicians               on               Stravinsky's               "L'Histoire               du               Soldat",               a               pop               album               and               a               video               game.

I'm               a               huge               cross-genre               music               fan               and               cultural               snobbery               is               something               that               I               think               of               as               terribly               narrow-minded               and               stultifying               for               an               artist.

In               fact,               I               find               that               my               relationship               with               Classic               music               is               enriched               by               my               love               affair               with               film               scores,               rock,               jazz               and               world               musics.

Do               you               play               the               video               games               in               your               spare               time,               too?
               EN:               At               first               I               was               an               assistant               to               one               of               the               original               orchestrators               on               WOW               and               ended               up               doing               a               lot               of               that               score               in               the               end.

               It               was               an               enormously               rewarding               experience               and               I               got               to               argue               at               length               about               orchestral               seating               with               eminent               recording               engineer,               John               Kurlander,               which               was               like               getting               a               masterclass               in               orchestral               mike-placement               and               recording               -               very               nerdy               indeed!
               The               games               are               creatively               ground-breaking               and               I               play               them               when               I               can,               although               I               must               admit,               I'm               much               more               into               the               incredible               artwork               and               animation               than               anything               else!
               Smorg:               Have               you               thought               of               conducting               or               composing               an               opera               in               the               future?
               EN:               I've               conducted               lots               of               "opera               scenes"               and               arias               but               I've               not               yet               had               the               opportunity               to               conduct               a               fully               staged               opera.

Of               course,               I               would               love               to               conduct               an               opera!
               As               for               composing               one               -               why               not?

If               a               commission               happen               to               float               my               way...
               Smorg:               Do               you               prefer               the               thrill               and               uncertainty               of               live               conducting               performances               or               do               you               prefer               studio               conducting               where               you               can               really               perfect               the               sound               of               the               performance?
               EN:               They               are               two               different               animals.

Sometimes               the               pressure               can               actually               be               greater               in               the               studio               situation               especially               if               there's               a               particularly               "detail               oriented"               (that's               being               kind!)               client,               director,               producer               etc.

I               love               both               situations,               especially               when               I'm               working               with               a               group               of               musicians               I               love               and               trust.

I               may               need               some               time               to               think               about               that               one!

               EN:               Yes,               I               would               definitely               say               so.

There               is               something               called               the               "maestro               myth"               that               I               do               not,               and               in               fact,               cannot               subscribe               to:               many               people               have               an               ingrained               perception               of               the               big-haired               maestro               wearing               bow-tie               and               tails;               it's               a               perception               I               can't               compete               with.

               EN:               Firstly               I               couldn't               find               much               to               do               in               LA               on               St.

Patrick's               Day               that               was               authentically               Irish               and               I               saw               a               type               of               cartoon               version               of               my               culture               that               had               become               what               people               perceived               to               be               "Irish".
