Danny Boy

丹尼男孩》（其旋律也被稱為《倫敦德里空氣》）通常被認為是一首古老的傳統曲調，但其結構和節拍並不符合任何已知的愛爾蘭民歌形式。至於過去一百多年來最常與之聯繫在一起的歌詞，則是由一位顯然從未踏足過愛爾蘭的英國律師寫的！儘管如此，它仍然是最受喜愛的民歌之一，亞歷山大-埃斯特朗奇（Alexander L'Estrange）的這首編曲非常平易近人，將歌詞苦盡甘來的特點表現得淋漓盡致

原文簡介:
Danny Boy (the melody of which is also known as Londonderry Air), is often assumed to be an old, traditional tune, however its structure and meter do not fit any of the known Irish folksong forms. As for the words most commonly associated with it for the last hundred years or so, they were written by an English lawyer who apparently never set foot in Ireland! Still, it’s one of the best-loved folksongs of all and this very approachable arrangement by Alexander L’Estrange brings out the bitter-sweet nature of the text. This piece is part of the Faber Choral Singles series, offering a selection of beautifully crafted arrangements in a diversity of musical styles. From Broadway, pop and folk to spirituals, gospel and original works, the series is arranged for 3-part choir (soprano, alto and a combined male-voice part) providing flexibility for any choir. Complete with straight-forward piano accompaniments supporting the vocal lines, the Faber Choral Singles series guarantees the perfect repertoire for every occasion – so get exploring and get singing!
