On "In the Time Of" Edel Sullivan not only displays her talents as a traditional Irish fiddler; but her skills as a composer and arranger on many of the 13 tunes which appear on the album as well.

Edel's classical training is evident in her work, but the original pieces are written in the style long established as the traditional Irish music sound. Edel has done her homework in what makes a piece of music a traditional sounding tune. The only thing that prevents this masterful piece of work from sounding like an authentic traditional ceili is the addition of a cello and piano on some of the pieces.

With artists like Edel Sullivan to carry on the music and traditions of Irish music the music of the "Emerald Isle" will be a part of music for many generation to come.
