By Joseph Hollings. Composed by Joseph Hollings. Arranged by Joseph Hollings. This edition: pdf, streaming. Celtic, Contest, Festival, Folk, Holiday, Irish, Traditional. 9 pages. Joseph Hollings Publishing #1331047. Published by Joseph Hollings Publishing (A0.1770638).

Bring the beloved Irish folk song Paddy’s Green Shamrock Shore to life with this expressive SATB arrangement for capable high school, community, and college choirs. This 4:20 setting is written for upper-intermediate to advanced-intermediate ensembles and includes an independent piano accompaniment that supports the choir while maintaining its own rhythmic and harmonic interest.

The arrangement is through-composed across four verses, each varied slightly to build musical shape and maintain engagement for all voice parts. Written in C major, the piece incorporates Dorian color as well as G-minor and B-flat harmonies that reinforce the folk character. The 6/8 and 9/8 meters create a natural triple-feel flow, while both piano and vocal parts use divisions of the beat in two and three. These patterns add rhythmic interest and follow natural speech inflection; while careful rhythmic reading is required, the difficulty remains accessible for well-prepared ensembles.

Textures vary throughout, including unison writing, light imitation, full SATB sonorities, and a climactic final verse that resolves into a quiet, reflective ending reminiscent of the opening. The opening verse may be sung by optional soprano and alto soloists, with brief female solos again appearing near the end of the piece.

Ranges:
• Soprano: C4–E♭5
• Alto: A3–B♭4
• Tenor: C3–E♭4
• Bass: A2–B♭3

This arrangement works well as a substantial mid-program selection and is ideal for directors seeking a lyrical folk ballad with accessible challenges, clear teaching opportunities, engaging SATB writing, and a supportive yet musical piano part.

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