This haunting melody comes from County Donegal, Ireland. Like so much of the literature and music of the country, it is imbued with images of natural beauty and figures from the magical world of the fairies. with Piano (or optional Woodwind Quintet)

Arranger: Wayland Rogers | Country: Ireland

A beautiful melody from County Donegal in Ireland and early 20th century lyrics will provide a lovely showcase for treble choirs in children's choirs and middle schools. With interesting mixed meter piano interludes, each verse is set beautifully for young voices and includes references to several Gaelic mythological creatures.
