Product Details


Product Description

An Mhaighdean Mhara (The Mermaid) is a traditional Irish lament, most associated with County Donegal. It tells the story of a mermaid who leaves the ocean to marry a mortal man and bear his children. Longing for the sea, she eventually returns to the waves, leaving her husband and children behind. Her leaving is the reason that the song is so sorrowful a lament. 

Suitable for any program, especially at St Patrick's Day. No difficult technical challenges. If a flugelhorn is not available then use a trumpet for the second part.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
