Notes from the arranger
Numerous Irish poets or the people who enjoyed the poems set the words to existing melodies. This included William Butler Yeats, who set “Down By The Salley Gardens” to a folk melody, and Herbert Hughes, who reset the same words in 1909 to “Maids of the Mourne Shore.” Thomas Moore set his poem, “The Minstrel Boy,” to the ancient air “The Moreen.”
This arrangement is in the key of C. Dynamics are clearly marked.
