She Moved Thro' the Fair/Maureen Hegarty

[reginaDeviant]

I also love Alan Stivell's version. In fact, I don't think I've ever heard a bad version!

[amccann7]

You have an Angelic voice; very beautiful.

i like the piano arrangements for these folk songs you sing too; does your pianist arrange them?

[SEAJEA6560]

Maureen Hegarty .....what a wondrous voice! The Good Lord has bestowed on you a glorious gift and I feel blessed to hear the timeless,ethereal music of Ireland honoured like this. Thank you !

[maureenderry]

Such a lovely comment...thank you.

[LailaRaqs]

How gorgeous! The most haunting, uncanny performance I've ever heard of this song.

[maureenderry]

Thank you for such a lovely comment. Maureen.

[kate18234]

Gorgeous -- brings back my cousin's singing it so long ago.

[maureenderry]

Thank you....seems you have been busy on Youtube today.

[maureenderry]

Thank you

shouldn't it read "my father won't slight you for your lack of kine"? i.e., "my father won't slight you because you're poor"? (no cows?)

[rdw7300]

I've never heard this with solo piano. Its just beautiful. Brings out the chaste soulfulness of the song.

[maureenderry]

It is a beautiful song. I have sung it on many occasions without piano but I like this accompaniment.

[maureenderry]

Thank you.

[pjdonagh]

Love thee dearest would certainly benefit from your singing. I seem to remember an arrangement by the late Havelock Nelson that perfectly supports the melody as the Hughes does here!!

[maureenderry]

Although I know 'Love Thee Dearest' I have never sung it. Maybe it is time that I did!

[pjdonagh]

By the way should you see Elizabeth Bicker any time soon would you tell her Peter Bailie sends his best wishes...we were colleagues a century ago (or so it seems)!!

[maureenderry]

I shall certainly pass on your good wishes to Elizabeth. Maureen.

[pjdonagh]

Hughes arrangement  plus your singing...it doesn't get any better...thank you for this- it is just as it should be sung.

[maureenderry]

Thank you. I love this song and Elizabeth is the perfect accompanist.

[Philoaussie08]

Just love this song....my beautiful Niece is getting  married to beautiful person from Scotland in a few weeks time......

[maureenderry]

Yes, It is a very beautiful song. My son is based in Glasgow, Scotland..he plays Irish harp and guitar..some videos on my channel of him playing.

[solsticecelt]

well done again maureen, this is a beautiful song and you have done it justice. Have you listened to the late great john count mc cormacks version? Your pianist has that tune down to a tee, this song is being sung at our wedding ceremony in june. Love thee drarest is also being sung. Have you covered it?

[maureenderry]

Yes it is a beautiful song. I sang it at my son's wedding. I know 'Love Thee Dearest' but have never sung it.

[solsticecelt]

Thanks maureen, I think you would also do it justice. You have a beautiful voice and your operatic tone would also do marble halls justice, I would love to hear you perform these songs in the future. Best wishes.

[maureenderry]

The first operatic song I ever learnt was "The Dream" from The Bohemian Girl...(Marble halls). I sang it in Feis Doire Colmcille and often in concerts.

[lorgain2]

stid77, I have also heard Sinead O`Connors rendition, nice try, but nowhere near this version, Maureen sings this song to perfection.

[stid77]

not doing maureen any injustice but i think sinead o conor done a version of this which i think is the best very haunting.i find this a bit operatic but still a great performance

[lorgain2]

Is this the perfect rendition of this song?, if not someone please point me to a better version.

Excellent Maureen.

[machree01]

A great song that stands the test of time. Thanks Maureen.
