Thanks so much for posting this. I am having a St Patrick's party and session, and I'm printing this round out as the first piece to be played. I will have high instruments take one line and low instruments the next, in order to minimize the dissonance of A against B which occurs in a few places.

"Sacred nine" gave me pause, but then I realized it must be a reference to the Muses. Pagan, it's definitely pagan!

I'm going to see about chords.
