| Added by magataganm, 23 Dec 2021 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. The Mourne Mountains of the title are located in County Down in Northern Ireland. The song is a whimsical look at the styles, attitudes and fashions of late nineteenth-century London as seen from the point of view of an emigrant labourer from a village near the Mourne Mountains. It is written as a message to the narrator's true love at home. The "sweep down to the sea" refrain was inspired by the view of the mountains from Skerries in north County Dublin. It contrasts the artificial attractions of the city with the more natural beauty of his homeland. . Source: Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mountains_of_Mourne) . Although originally created for traditional Irish instruments, I created this Interpretation of "The Mountains of Mourne" for 2 Flutes & Celtic or Concert (Pedal) Harp. | |||
