Irish Tune from County Derry, by Percy Grainger
Performed by the Harmonic Winds of Utah. For more information on how you can support this community wind ensemble, visit harmonicwindsofutah.org.
This piece is a setting of a now-famous tune from the Irish county of Derry in the north (also sometimes called Londonderry). This classic arrangement
features beautiful, delicate part-writing for both woodwinds and brass, highlighting each family in turn. While this tune is widely associated with the
lyrics “Danny Boy”, it in fact has rich history of lyric settings of which “Danny Boy” is a relative latecomer.
