i've been asking the same thing. I sang this for a concert back in High School, 30 years ago, but have never been able to find the arrangement. I mean, if my school was able to get it, it shouldn't be so hard now, right?
40-45 years ago I bought some volumes of Britten's folk-song settings (voice and piano) from Boosey and Hawkes. This song (actually an early poem by Yeats, though the tune is doubtless traditional); it is the first song in Britten's "Folksong Arrangements, Volume 1, British Isles." I think these arrangements don't go out of fashion, and should be available from any large distributor of printed music. Good luck!.
This is great music!
Is there a way you could give me the sheet music for this song? I cannot seem to find this arrangement anywhere.
Hello I have the music within the original key if you'd like it still
This setting is by Benjamin Britten, and should be easy enough to order. I think it is much nices than the Herbert Hughes setting.
