The Rolling Wave radio programme on RTÉ is presented and produced by fiddle player, Aoife Nic Cormaic. During the initial lockdown of 2020 the programme, in association with ITMA, commissioned 10 composers to write new tunes in a project called Faoiseamh. Initially the composers recorded the tunes on whatever devices they had in their homes, and these, along with interviews were broadcast in June and July of 2020. A further round of compostitions were commissioned in November 2021 and broadcast that December.
As part of the series the tunes were published on the ITMA website with a full suite of learning resources.
The tunes in this collection, along with interviews with the composers, were featured on two editions of The Rolling Wave radio programme. The first was broadcast on the 5 December 2021, and the second on the 12 December 2021.
The Rolling Wave is presented and produced by Aoife Nic Cormaic.
