 Composer
Carl
Hession
Carl Hession is today regarded as one of traditional
Irish music's finest accompanist, composers and arrangers.
Born in Galway, he grew up in a very musical family.
The Hession family home in Salthill was a well known
session venue and musicians were welcomed and encouraged
to drop in regularly
for a tune. This young Carl Hession was highly influenced
by all this musical activity and before long began
accompanying these sessions on piano. Over the years
he participated in competitions at various Fleadhanne
Ceili throughout the country and has All Ireland titles
to his credit both as a soloist and as a member of
duets and trios with flute player Matt Molloy and
accordion player Joe Burke.
Carl's interest in classical piano playing developed
alongside his attraction to traditional music and
he later studied at University College Cork, where
he was awarded a B.Mus. Degree. He continued his involvement
with traditional music working with well known ceili
band "The Shaskeen" and with Galway flute
player Frankie Gavin. A member of the group "Moving
Cloud" Carl's driving yet highly sympathetic
piano work with this ever popular band has become
recognised world-wide.
In recent years Carl has received widespread acclaim
for his woeful accompaniment to the music of great
Boston accordion virtuoso, Joe Derrane, both in concert
and on Joe's most recent solo album, "Return
to Aran". In 1984 Carl released his first album,
"The Galway Suite", to great critical acclaim.
This was followed in 1987 with the very successful
"Echoes of Ireland" which reinforced Carl's
reputation as one of Ireland's finest composers and
arrangers. His third album "Ceol Inné
Ceol Inniu" was released in 1995 and featured
a dazzling array of his talents with tracks of traditional
tunes and songs mixed with newly composed pieces all
arranged with intuitive understanding of the complexities
involved in both traditional and classical styles
of playing.
