About "Basque" by James Galway
Galway's 'Basque' is a sprightly, folk-inflected flute piece that dances like a village festival in the Pyrenees. The melody skips and twirls, but beneath the buoyant rhythm lies a wistful undertow—a sense of celebration shadowed by the knowledge that the music, like the culture it evokes, is always under threat of fading.
