@MrPeterparlane Well,there are two Allendales in the UK.One in Northumberland and one in Ireland (Kilmainham).most people believe the song is about the one in England as others about the place in Ireland.
@JoanOfArc10 lol thats becasue tolkien took his names from old english, finnish and norse names ^^ for example in england theres a place called Arundel... now how LOTR sounding is that :P
ako bismo upoznali ono najbolje u jednom narodu, ne znam da li bismo mogli da pucamo jedni na druge, ili da bacamo bombe po tuđim gradovima, takva je ova melodija, za ljubav i za poštovanje!
@boguspurr The song is as you say an English song. There are various Allendale/Allandales in Britain one of which is in Northumberland. The composer wrote a few pseudo-Scottish songs like Mary of Argyll. He didn't actually state which Allendale he meant (if any maybe he just liked the name) but the line "Mary left her Highland cot" does suggest a Scots setting.
@firstmatelaura I is not actually Scottish either. It was written by two Englishmen. It is debateable whether it is Allendale in Northumberland or one of the Scottish Allandales! The composers did write some pseudo Scottish songs. For example "Mary of Argyl"

omg i am almost positive i have heard this song in a movie or tv but cant for the life of me remember what!!! anyone have a clue??? its gonna bug me! i wanna say its a denzel washington movie...but not sure...
@matze1615 You got that one right buddy. Everything from Morpeth Rant to" I know an old Farmer who had an

Hiya, I sincerely hope no one minds me doing this, but I'm looking to get some attention for my music. If you would have the time, please look at my YouTube channel, goodbyname, where I have uploaded some of my original songs. Am particularly keen to highlight 'Just watch me burn' and 'Sleeping on Your throne'...which comicly I performed on Radio when I was a guest alongside a vicar...awkward? Yeah, lol...a little bit! Many thanks. Chris
I write songs. The songs come through me, not from me. Please stop fighting to claim possession of “The Rose of Allandale”. Enjoy and be thankful for its existence, no matter through whom it came into being. Making so much noise in the clamber to own something will drown out its beauty.

Actually u see this is song made only for this movie (it's Lithuanian movie). Compositor is the one you see in the clip, and it's no wonder you can't find this song. . : DD
First of all it's not as national as some britney spears. xdd Anne Jennings-Tauciene is our singer, and in Lithuania there isn't many songs that are put on Internet for downloads /.
So anyway I hope I cleard some misunderstandings.. ^^
Ahaha, in the very beginning of the video I saw those cars pass and I was like WHOA THEY'RE CRAZY driving on the wrong side of the road. hehe American -.-
Here's some info i've dug up about 'The Rose of Allandale' (Allendale)
The song was written for the operatic drama/play 'Rob Roy' McGregor, his wife was called Mary Helen McGregor. From August 1817, Walter Scott wrote the story of 'Rob Roy' McGregor as part of his Waverley novels and published it on the 30th Dec 1817.
Issac Pocock converted some of Walter Scott's Waverley novels into operatic dramas. On 12 March 1818 Pocock's 'Rob Roy Macgregor, or Auld Lang Syne,' an operatic drama in three acts, was first played at Covent Garden, London. The Rose Of Allandale, sung By Mr Wilson in 'Rob Roy' at the Theatre Royal Convent Garden was Written By Charles Jefferys and Composed By Sidney Nelson.
In 1833, in the play 'The Honeymoon', the song 'The Rose of Allendale' was sung by Miss Aldridge at the Sheffield Theatre, England.
In 1834, Mr Sporle sung the 'Rose af Allandale', 'Farwell, my Gentle Mary', and 'The Emancipated Negro' written by Charles Jefferys, composed by Sidney Nelson to commemorate the abolition of slavery.
The music to 'The Rose of Allandale' has since been used for numerous songs. In the book 'The Harp of Freedom', 1856, there is the song 'Slaves Wrong's' words by Miss Chandler. Arranged from "Rose of Allandale." and in Edwin Paxton Hood's, 'The Book of Temperance Melody', 1850, there is a song "I've heard the praise of Rosy Wine." Air-"The Rose of Allendale"
The reason 'The Rose of Allandale' seems to be associated with, and sung in England, Scotland and Ireland for the past 200 years, is proberaly down to 'Rob Roy' and his part in the Jacobite rising. The sympathy and strong support for the Jacobites being mainly in Scotland, Ireland and Northern England (The area in and around Allendale, Northumberland was a particulary strong area for the Jacobites).
The song is generally credited to Charles Jeffrey (air) and Sidney Nelson (lyrics) and was written in its current form in the 1840's. However, similar songs were published in the British Isles in the mid to late 1700's. The town of Allendale is in Northumberland. The Copper Family buffed up the lyrics and tune to how we hear it today.
totally mised the beauty, and pace of this lovely song. I cant believe so many people have listened to this clip. The backing is rubbish, the mood wrong. Come people, you have more class than this, check out a few other renderings. I hear better than this at the Norwich folk club! Ill do it myslf if you want, and make you cry!
what a nice song!!! composer is andrius mamontovas, I highly recomend to listen to his songs, he also was in the band call FOJE, just check it out, its realy nice music
I am a fluent Irish speaker, family from Conemara, but I am brought up in Northumberland, so as honest a broker as you can get. Allendale is in Northumberland, I know the place, and this song. That is fact. But the British have "de-Gaelicised" much culture. The whole "Celtic" thing is an example. The whole "Celtic" concecpt came from LLwyd, contemporary of Isaac Newton. The so-called "Celtic Church", "Celtic Christianity", only ever referrefd to itself as Irish (Gaelach).
Okay I may be Irish...but Im trying not to be biased! :P Buttttt.......Irish Folk Music is by far the best! Go to one of our Trad Pubs and you're guarenteed an INCREDIBLE night! Singing, instrumentals everything, long into the night! Try "The Dubliners" One of the best Bands Ireland has pulled out! :D
@GerardBrowne16 I so agree with you, I am from UK but have Irish grandad on Dad's side, I went to Dublin last year and met the Wolfetones and visited Glasnevin and had an awesome time.
So your telling me that an english man wrote about robbing trevelyans corn in Athenry? That an english man wrote about seven drunken nights and playing the tin whistle (trad irish instrument) that an english man makes up the dubliners and the wolfe tones? Or the english made trad music?? I think not! Trad in Ireland since around 1700...in England since around 1860....when the Irish emigrated!!
No, I am simply saying that more than a few songs accepted as Irish do have their origins on this side of the water. And i do include songs originating in Wales and Scotland in that too.
As a recent example, I often sing "Home Lads, Home" words by Cecily Fox-Smith and set to music by Sarah Morgan of Criag, Morgan and Robson.
Despite having the line "My old Hampshire village" and making reference to the Meon, I have seen it several times on CDs of Favourite (or traditional) Irish Pub Songs!!
Well, it's an instrument that was adopted by Irish navvies, taken back to Ireland, absorbed into Irish culture and played to excellent ewffect by Irish musicians.
However, it was actually invented by an Englishman. Do a Google on Robert Clarke if you don't believe me.
Typical that a britt would say this, as everyone know they have tormented the Irish throughout history, of course they claim that even the songs that the irish have been able to create and keep with them through all of this are theires from the begining so that they can fell a little bit better about themsleves for rheir deeds, stating that the Irish have coopied them. Tragic.
Ironically, English involvement in Ireland started with Henry II being "authorised" by Pope Adrian IV to put down the pirates (further irony in that they were probably of Viking as oposed to Celtic origin) that were causing a great deal of damage to the commerce of South western Europe.
@oldun52 fuck off with that and the dirty english. the reason the english have no folk songs is because they are nothing but trash. soulless trash. you'd be the one to take that comment back. Ireland is a beautiful dream that has been darkened by those pigs.
that excellent Irish Performer, Anthony John Clarke, writer of The Broken Years and Tuesday Night is Always Kareoke, actually cracked the same joke when he did a different song that had been written by an English writer, but adopted as "Traditional Irish.!
Can't for the life of me remember what the song was, but it was part of a bloody good set!
@oldun52 The Irish have not pinched all the folk songs,they all belong to the Irish going over eight hundred years,so it cant belong to Charles Jefferies,as all Irish music belongs to the Irish.
LOL! Seen on a CD of "Favourite Irish Pub songs" a couple of years ago, "Home Lads, Home," words by the English poetess Cicely Fox-Smith and set to music by the English singer Sarah Morgan.
Several references in the song about Hampshire, including "My Old Hampshre Village" and the River Meon.
But, as it's on a CD of Irish Pub Songs, of course it's an Irish song!
@GerardBrowne16, I couldn't agree more!!! I'm of Finnish descent and I just love Irish trad music. It's haunting, mysterious, absolutely beautifuly or just plain happy. I love it! I wish I had a lilt in my voice.
Was recorded by a few different Irish folk singers so people mistake it for Irish. Anything that has this air people always think it's Irish folk immediately. I'll have to listen to the Corries
Nice song.I like irish folk. I play italian folk music. My instrument is the "tamburieddhru salentinu", it's like tambourin.I'm very interested in other cultures music. It doesn't matter if, this song is irish or english. It's important to continue to take care of his own tradition and culture.
Best wishes, from an italian who unfortunetly lives in Germany.
The Rose of Allendale is neither Scottish nor Irish, . Allendale is a village in the English county of Northumberland. The words were written by Charles Jeffreys and the music by Sidney Nelson in the 1840s.whatever it's a beautiful song.
I figured someone would say this. Anybody can wikipedia anything but it ain't necessarily so! I know exactly where Allendale is. The melody is ancient but like most old folk melodies or songs, tunes get "adopted" lyrics get changed by succeeding composers. It's exactly because the melody is so timelessly beautiful that over the centuries it morphs to suit changing instrumentation from Clarsach (Scottish harp,) pipe, dulcimer, fiddle, to guitar.
First time I heard this, it was 3 am and I was drunk, but I still fell in love with it right away, I was pretty much just starring like a moron cause I was totally stunned it. Beautiful, lovely.
It is not Irish - it's English - Allendale is in Northumbria

As a recent example, I often sing "Home Lads, Home" words by Cecily Fox-Smith and set to music by Sarah Morgan of Criag, Morgan and Robson.
Despite having the line "My old Hampshire village" and making reference to the Meon, I have seen it several times on CDs of Favourite (or traditional) Irish Pub Songs!!

The tin whistle a traditional Irish instrument?
Well, it's an instrument that was adopted by Irish navvies, taken back to Ireland, absorbed into Irish culture and played to excellent ewffect by Irish musicians.
However, it was actually invented by an Englishman. Do a Google on Robert Clarke if you don't believe me.

Typical that a britt would say this, as everyone know they have tormented the Irish throughout history, of course they claim that even the songs that the irish have been able to create and keep with them through all of this are theires from the begining so that they can fell a little bit better about themsleves for rheir deeds, stating that the Irish have coopied them. Tragic.

Ironically, English involvement in Ireland started with Henry II being "authorised" by Pope Adrian IV to put down the pirates (further irony in that they were probably of Viking as oposed to Celtic origin) that were causing a great deal of damage to the commerce of South western Europe.

@oldun52 fuck off with that and the dirty english. the reason the english have no folk songs is because they are nothing but trash. soulless trash. you'd be the one to take that comment back. Ireland is a beautiful dream that has been darkened by those pigs.

that excellent Irish Performer, Anthony John Clarke, writer of The Broken Years and Tuesday Night is Always Kareoke, actually cracked the same joke when he did a different song that had been written by an English writer, but adopted as "Traditional Irish.!
Can't for the life of me remember what the song was, but it was part of a bloody good set!
A performer well worth seeing by the way.

@oldun52 The Irish have not pinched all the folk songs,they all belong to the Irish going over eight hundred years,so it cant belong to Charles Jefferies,as all Irish music belongs to the Irish.

LOL! Seen on a CD of "Favourite Irish Pub songs" a couple of years ago, "Home Lads, Home," words by the English poetess Cicely Fox-Smith and set to music by the English singer Sarah Morgan.
Several references in the song about Hampshire, including "My Old Hampshre Village" and the River Meon.
But, as it's on a CD of Irish Pub Songs, of course it's an Irish song!

We don't have any evidence. Does it really matter if the song 'belongs' to Ireland or anywhere else?

Was recorded by a few different Irish folk singers so people mistake it for Irish. Anything that has this air people always think it's Irish folk immediately. I'll have to listen to the Corries

Nice song.I like irish folk. I play italian folk music. My instrument is the "tamburieddhru salentinu", it's like tambourin.I'm very interested in other cultures music. It doesn't matter if, this song is irish or english. It's important to continue to take care of his own tradition and culture.
Best wishes, from an italian who unfortunetly lives in Germany.

I hate to burst your bubble folks but this is NOT an Irish song and most definately not from Ireland-!!
it's from Scotland, from Ayrshire to be exact, an old Rabbie Burns song about his Highland Mary from Dunnon Argyllshire.

The Rose of Allendale is neither Scottish nor Irish, . Allendale is a village in the English county of Northumberland. The words were written by Charles Jeffreys and the music by Sidney Nelson in the 1840s.whatever it's a beautiful song.
littentree6 2 years ago 2
I figured someone would say this. Anybody can wikipedia anything but it ain't necessarily so! I know exactly where Allendale is. The melody is ancient but like most old folk melodies or songs, tunes get "adopted" lyrics get changed by succeeding composers. It's exactly because the melody is so timelessly beautiful that over the centuries it morphs to suit changing instrumentation from Clarsach (Scottish harp,) pipe, dulcimer, fiddle, to guitar.
Burns was a great musicologist.
