Eoin Conway captures the beauty, love, hope and sadness of this famous Irish folksong in this sublime and haunting new arrangement. A gently shimmering piano supports the familiar tune, with a deftly written harmony line included underneath it. The simple austere writing makes the piece accessible to choirs of many levels, but more importantly draws us into a story of a burning love that is sadly left unfulfilled. The last verse — where the ghost of the ‘young love’ visits the man’s house — is charged with emotion and atmosphere, Conway’s piano writing giving even more meaning and drama to the ethereal scene.
