The Irish Washerwoman, dedicated to Arthur Fiedler, who premiered the work, is the first movement of Leroy Anderson's six-movement Irish Suite. This exuberant movement features nimble-fingered woodwinds with a traditional Irish flair. Just re-released, the work was scored for concert band by the composer himself and has been re-engraved with a full score and fresh parts, ensuring this work will be available for generations to come!
