Star of the County Down
Editorial notes by Ray Wallace, D.A.
Well-known by many generations of traditional Irish music fans, the Star of the County Down has become even more widely popular with recent renditions bymore internationally renowned performers such as Van Morrison, SineadO'Connor, and the Chieftains.
The Star of the County Down, as the lyrics suggest, is Rosie McCann, the fairest(most beautiful) sweet colleen (young woman) in all of Ireland. Rosie lives inBanbridge, a small market town in County Down, one of the six counties inNorthern Ireland. The town of Banbridge is located on the main road from Belfastto Dublin, and would have been a major market town when this piece was firstperformed. County Down, located on the northeastern coast of Ireland is perhapsmost famous as the workplace for St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Patricklanded in Down in 432AD and died there in 461AD after completing missionarywork. He is buried in Downpatrick, County Down.
