Irish Traditional is a classical music composer who was born in Ireland in the early 20th century. From a young age, Irish Traditional showed a natural talent for music and began playing traditional Irish instruments such as the fiddle and the tin whistle. As he grew older, he became increasingly interested in classical music and began studying music theory and composition. Irish Traditional's early compositions were heavily influenced by traditional Irish music, but he also incorporated elements of classical music into his work. His first major composition, a suite for solo fiddle and orchestra, was well-received by audiences and critics alike. This success encouraged Irish Traditional to continue exploring the intersection of traditional Irish music and classical music in his compositions. Over the course of his career, Irish Traditional composed a wide variety of works, including symphonies, concertos, chamber music, and choral music.

The symphony was a critical and commercial success, and helped establish Irish Traditional as one of the leading composers of his time. Another notable work by Irish Traditional is his Concerto for Piano and Orchestra, which was premiered in London in 1955.

The concerto also features traditional Irish melodies and rhythms, giving it a unique flavor that sets it apart from other piano concertos of the time. In addition to his instrumental works, Irish Traditional also composed a number of choral works. One of his most famous choral works is his Requiem, which was composed in memory of his father.
