Product Description
Down by the Salley Gardens is a traditional Irish folk tune that has been arranged and performed in many different ways. The memorable melody offers a lot of room for expression in the performers. This setting doesn't try to break any boundaries harmonically, it really just attempts to capture the lush beauty offered diatonically. Performers should take liberties with expression and dynamics.
