Versatile Brass 'Óld Time Favourites' Collection
"It's a Long Way to Tipperary" is a British music hall song written by Henry James "Harry" Williams and co-credited to Jack Judge. Originally it was credited as written by Jack Judge and co-credited to Henry James "Harry" Williams. It was allegedly written for a 5-shilling bet in Stalybridge on 30 January 1912 and performed the next night at the local music hall. Now commonly called "It's a Long Way to Tipperary", the original printed music calls it "It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary". It became popular among soldiers in the First World War and is remembered as a song of that war.
Welcoming signs in the referenced county of Tipperary, Ireland, humorously declare, "You've come a long long way..." in reference to the song.
This is a very simple arrangement for Brass Ensemble playable by all levels of player.
