  This is a lovely Irish tune, very closely akin to the tune of "On Raglan 

  Road" as sung by Van Morrison with the Chieftains on "Irish Heartbeat" - 

  actually a modern poem by P. J. Kavanagh set to a traditional air whose 

  title I've forgotten ("The Dawning of the Day", perhaps?).

  

  The first half of this is pretty well note-for-note identical to Martin 

  Simpson's arrangement on "Leaves of Life", and as per the TAB that comes 

  with the album. However, he plays it on a baritone guitar - this sounds 

  achingly beautiful and sonorous, but given the higher pitch of the 

  standard guitar, I thought it could use a bit more of the lower register, 

  so I put together a simple arrangement one octave below. This alternates 

  nicely with the higher part, and gives some pleasing tonal contrast, 

  especially if the right-hand attack alternates between 'over the sound 

  hole' and 'down by the bridge'.

  

  Any comments would be welcome.

  

  Regards,

  

  Barry
