In 1988 Roger Doyle was asked to compose the music for the Gate Theatre's production of Oscar Wilde's Salomé. On the opening night much of the music was improvised but through the years and after many performances the music has become more fixed. Performed by the composer, the music on this recording has undergone small changes so that it can exist independently to the theatre production.

Four major works from Brian Boydell, one of Ireland's leading composers of the twentieth century: In Memoriam Mahatma Gandhi; Violin Concerto; Masai Mara Op. 87 and Megalithic Ritual Dances. Maighréad McCrann (violin), National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, conductor Colman Pearce.

'Joan Trimble's music is natural and fluent, devoid of contrivance or sentimentality'. A selection of works for two pianos and voice and piano, and the Phantasy Trio, performed by Patricia Bardon (mezzo-soprano), Joe Corbett (baritone), Una Hunt and Roy Holmes (pianos) and the Dublin Piano Trio.

Roger Doyle's Under the Green Time: 'An image of Ireland without the sweet Celtic wrapping, an ancient, hard Ireland, a kind of musical archaeology.' This programme of acoustic, electro-acoustic and traditional music was recorded live in The Hague in 1999 by the Netherlands Wind Ensemble with Brian Ó hUiginn (uilleann pipes), Sarah Grealish (vocals) and Roger Doyle (electronics).
