about

This is the air to a song written by a Scotsman, Thomas Campbell. Also known as The Banks of the Danube, it tells of a woman lamenting the death in battle of her lover, an exiled Irish soldier, during one of Napoleon’s campaigns in Europe in the 1790s. The air is older than the song and often attributed to Turlough O’Carolan. The version here is from the fiddle player Pádraig O’Keeffe who played it for Séamus Ennis in 1949 during one of his music collecting visits to Sliabh Luachra.
