Scored in two compatible versions, the traditional Irish tune SLANE opens with a lively and simple malleted accompaniment. In the second stanza, thumb damps in the upper trebles complement the melody highlighted in the mid-range bells. The straightforward rhythms allow developing choirs the opportunity to focus on listening to balance between the melody and the accompanying parts.
