Composed by Traditional Irish. Arranged by David McKeown. Celtic,Folk,Holiday,Wedding,World. 4 pages. David McKeown #6013331. Published by David McKeown (A0.588618).The Londonderry Air is among the best loved melodies of Ireland. This beautiful version is arranged as a duet for one Trumpet and one Clarinet.
The Londonderry Air was first collected and notated in the mid-nineteenth century in County Londonderry in the North of Ireland, however, the origins of the melody remain unknown. In 1913 the English writer Frederic Weatherley set his poem "Danny Boy" to the melody. There are many other settings of the Londonderry Air, with various lyrics and in musical styles from orchestral to brass band to jazz, but Danny Boy remains the best known.
Londonderry Air is simply arranged in accessible keys and over a range best suited to the instruments. The melody is played twice with a key change and different accompaniment on the second verse and is suitable for players at an intermediate level and above. With a performance time of a little over three minutes, this version of Londonderry Air is perfect for recitals and concert performance.
