In Act I of the production, adopted from an Irish folk tale, Mistress Mc'Cool evokes a spell to communicate with her sister, Granua. In Act II, the opening string of Ibert's "Escales" help Mistress Mc'Cool to solve the problem of outwitting the Giant Cuchullain. In this act Mistress Mc'Cool chants one of the old est chants which leads her to use nine strands of colored yarn tied about her wrist, her waist and her ankle. These nine strands give her the clue for which she is seeking. Other music includes a brief snatch from the Scherzo of Men delssohn's "Midsummers Night Dream", which is used as the identifying theme for the lepre chaun, Mr. Meebly. Richard Strauss and Respighi also con tribute small parts of mood mu sic.
