"The Dawning of the Day" (Irish: Fáinne Geal an Lae, literally "The bright ring of the day") is the name of two old Irish airs. "Fáinne Geal an Lae" (sometimes called "The Golden Star"), an air composed by the harpist Thomas Connellan in the 17th century. An Irish-language song with this name ("Fáinne Geal an Lae") was published by Edward Walsh (1805-1850) in 1847 in Irish Popular Songs and later translated into English as "The Dawning of the Day". It has become well known as the melody to which Patrick Kavanagh's On Raglan Road is sung. It is often played as a march and is one of the first tunes that a student of Irish music will learn.

O'Connellan's "Fáinne Geal an Lae" is often confused with the later pentatonic melody to which the words "The Dawning of the Day" is set. The O'Connellan air is different in a number of respects, although there are melodic resemblances. Words are still sung to variants of it which mostly use only the first half of the air as printed in Bunting and other collections.

The Irish-language lyrics of "Fáinne Geal an Lae" describe an aisling where the poet encounters a mysterious beautiful woman. In this case, she upbraids him as a frivolous rake and points to the approaching dawn.

Although originally written for Traditional Irish instruments, I created this Interpretation of the Irish Ballad "The Dawning of the Day" for Flute, Oboe & Celtic or Concert (Pedal) Harp.

I grabbed several of your Harp/Flute/Oboe arrangements and will work on recording them with tin whistle - either doubled part if range permits or with oboe part played on melodica or chromatic harmonica. I just started on tin whistle and I am looking for harmony arrangements - I know it is not strictly traditional approach but makes great sounding takes.
