Program Notes

Although it is an Irish folk song, it is the most widely known in the world because it is treated as a de-facto national anthem in British Northern Ireland. It is sung in various lyrics, and it is sung in The confession of Devodzilla, If I Was an Apple Blossom That Blooms on You, and in a hymn, especially with the title of the famous Danny Boy.

Like many arrangements, this arrangement is also a song that you can sing slowly, but since each phrase is long, I think that it can be used not only as a concert repertoire but also for practice such as warming up.
