The magical pairing of Patrick Kavanagh’s poem On Raglan Road with the air of the old Irish folksong The Dawning of the Day resulted in what is now regarded as one of Ireland’s most treasured songs. This arrangement of On Raglan Road for SATB choir is Eoin Conway at his very best. The piece contains all the hallmarks of a top-class arrangement: exquisite and carefully crafted vocal parts and harmonies, imaginative story telling built into the fabric of the music, and accompanying parts that not only support the melody but also play their own distinct role in the colour and atmosphere of the piece.

This is a revered song given a very special arrangement and is highly recommended for mixed choirs of all sizes and abilities.
