Description
Irish folksong melody arranged with variations for 2 wind instruments and piano.
The melody has been arranged by various composers over the centuries including Henry Purcell
and also became known to listeners of BBC World Service in the 20th Century as its signature tune,
despite the fact that the original song was more than somewhat disparaging of British rule over the Irish!
This version is of moderate difficulty with each of the three instruments getting a bite of the melody.
The sound sample is an electronic preview.
