The lyrics to the song "The Mountains of Mourne"
(originally spelt The Mountains o' Mourne) were written
by Irish musician Percy French (1854–1920), the music
was composed by Houston Collisson (1865–1920).
Another theory is that it is based on the traditional
Irish folk tune "Carrigdonn" or "Carrigdhoun". The
latter was the same tune used by Thomas Moore
(1779–1852) for his song Bendemeer's Stream.
The song is representative of French's many works concerning the Irish diaspora. ...(+) |
