The Burden of Life
accompaniment track from A Man of No Importance
A Man of No Importance tells the story of an amateur theatre group in Dublin and their leader, who is determined to stage a version of Salome at his church, despite the objections of church authorities. This is the accompaniment backing track for the song The Burden of Life. This track has a short pause between its two main sections due to a break in the music for a scene. As a result, the full album zip folder download features this song in two separate files, labeled Part 1 and Part 2. “The Burden of Life” is a buoyant, comedic ensemble number from A Man of No Importance, led by Carney and the St. Imelda’s Players as they offer Alfie some well-intended (and hilariously misguided) advice. This accompaniment track features lively contemporary orchestration, crisp rhythms, and clear cueing that support the song’s quick banter, humor, and ensemble interplay. Perfect for rehearsals, staging sessions, lessons, and full productions, this backing track provides a polished, reliable foundation for one of the show’s most entertaining and character-driven moments.
