Good for mass ringing, this arrangement of an Irish folk song has compatible 2 octave and 3-5 octave settings which may be played with or without the brass quintet. Instrumental parts include two trumpets, French horn, Trombone and Tuba. Pay particular attention to dynamic changes, which occur somewhat frequently throughout the piece. A repeat lengthens the mostly chordal 43 measure piece.
