Program Notes

The title is taken from one of the most poignant and nostalgic lines of text in the Irish folk song Danny Boy, which is the basis for this expressive setting. The composer creates a dreamily beautiful presentation of this beloved song for younger bands.

Commissioned by the London High School Band Boosters, Corpus Christi, Tx., and their director, Mr. Luis A. Zapeda, in honor of the 2019 London High School Senior Class.
