Learned a new tune, the harmonization, form, arrangement, and a drastic rewrite of the melody in the middle section of which are all mine, but it’s nevertheless a traditional Irish song about an immigrant who leaves his home for liberty in America. I tried to end the final word, “liberty,” with a musical question mark, or at least mixed emotion, or uncertainty.
This tune is sometimes titled The Green Fields of Amerikay (with that spelling). I chose to use the first phrase of the lyrics and add the explanatory subtitle.

I love this one, Hilton. Of course, anything “Irish” is always delightful. Simple, haunting.
I really like this one, Hilton. Of course, I like anything “Irish.” Gentle, haunting.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
