Description
While many are familiar with the euphonium variations of this sentimental Irish air, this version by the legendary Roy Newsome focuses on the Cornet as the solo voice. Newsome’s arrangement provides a traditional and heartwarming setting of the melody, supported by the rich, characteristic textures of the British brass band. It is an ideal selection for concerts featuring a cornet soloist who excels in the art of the musical “ballad,” offering a moment of pure, nostalgic beauty that never fails to move an audience.
Difficulty 3
