In 2003 Shaun Davey composed music for the opening ceremony of the Special Olympics World Summer Games at Croke Park, Dublin. In collaboration with Noel Eccles, Davey created music on a scale and emotional intensity to match the occasion. It featured some of Ireland's outstanding traditional musicians, singers and pipers with the RTE National Symphony Orchestra and no less than six Dublin Choirs. It is presented here with other of Davey's spectacular works, full of soaring melodies, exquisite singing and piping, in celebration of life, its welcomes and farewells.
