[Fedfanatic]

What brand of whistle is that? I love the hauntingly beautiful sound!!!!

[meganmurphy1212]

Thanks! I believe that Will used a Burke composite for this tune. (Key of D)

~Megan

[hbhfl]

Is the song called The Sally Gardens different to this one?

[meganmurphy1212]

Yes.

Although this tune is sometimes abbreviated "Sally Gardens," the difference between "The Sally Gardens" and "Down By The Sally Gardens" is that the former is generally a reel and the latter is a slow aire.

Thanks for watching.

[KNQuail]

Wow man.

Truly amazing.

I'm doing this for choir now.

It's so awesome.

What's the song originate from?

Like where from?

[meganmurphy1212]

The melody is an Irish aire. The lyrics to the song were written by the Irish poet, W. B. Yeats.

Thanks for watching and for your complementary response to Will's playing.

"DOWN by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;

She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.

She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;

But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.

In a field by the river my love and I did stand,

And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.

She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;

But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears."

[paddyinsweden]

This one is really beautiful. I enjoy listening to ITM, but who is this Will? I'm not very good at names, but it feels as if I've missed something? Someone enlighten me?

It is difficult to describe that beautiful song, played that way, as anything other than hauntingly beautiful...but I shall try. Ahem...that really was hauntingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
