Added by magataganm, 31 Jul 2012 The Bard of Armagh is an Irish ballad. It is often attributed to Patrick Donnelly. He was made Bishop of Dromore in 1697, the same year as the enactment of the Bishops Banishment Act. Donnelly is believed to have taken the name of the travelling harper Phelim Brady. The song itself, like many heroic, rebel outlaw ballads, dates from the mid 19th century, when it was printed as a broadside ballad in Dublin. Although originally written for traditional folk instruments, I created this arrangement for Concert (Pedal) Harp. Sheet central : | The Bard of Armagh (2 sheet music) | |
