for SATB and piano
Written for the BBC Last night of the Proms, this sensitive setting of the well-known Irish folk song does justice to the beauty of the original melody. Chilcott's harmonic subtleties add to the poignancy of the lyrics, expressing and elevating the sentiments of loss and longing.
