Lyrics: Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side, The summer’s gone and all the roses falling, It’s you, it’s you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow, Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow, It’s I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow, Oh, Danny Boy, oh Danny boy I love you so! But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying, If I am dead, as dead I may well be Ye’ll come and find the place where I am lying, And kneel and say an Ave there for me; And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me, And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be, For you will bend and tell me that you love me, And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!
Official Music Video from the Choral Scholars of University College Dublin, performing ‘Silently, She’s Combing’ from James Joyce’s ‘Chamber Music’ Listen to the brand new album, released on September 20th, here: [https://lnk.to/JamesJoyceChamberMusic]. Experience the haunting beauty of ‘Silently, She’s Combing,’ a stunning choral setting of James Joyce’s Chamber Music, performed by the Choral Scholars of University College Dublin. This video includes an exclusive 3-second album promo to celebrate the release of our new album, out now! This piece is part of our ‘James Joyce Chamber Music’ series, where we set Joyce’s poetry to music. This choral arrangement offers a lyrical and ethereal interpretation of one of Ireland’s most celebrated writers. For lovers of choral music, classical arrangements, and James Joyce’s literary works, this performance provides an immersive experience of Irish cultural history. Listen to the brand new album, released on September 20th, here: [https://lnk.to/JamesJoyceChamberMusic]. Composed by Desmond Earley, this piece brings to life James Joyce’s poem (XXIV) from his iconic Chamber Music collection, capturing the ethereal imagery of a woman silently and gracefully combing her hair. Accompanied by the Solstice Ensemble, led by Anita Vedres, the music subtly mirrors the introspective themes of distance and indifference, resonating with the mystical aura of Ireland. Soprano soloists Emily Doyle and Kiri O’Neill blend seamlessly with the ensemble, evoking a timeless, reflective atmosphere, guided by the rich textures of string and wind instruments. This video not only showcases the Choral Scholars’ distinctive blend of Irish choral sound but also the ensemble’s interpretation of Joyce’s works in a contemporary, yet deeply respectful manner. Conducted by Desmond Earley, this performance is part of a broader international collaboration to fulfil Joyce’s dream of setting all 36 poems from Chamber Music to music.

The younger melody was composed by Kentuckian John Jacob Niles, collector and performer of Appalachian folk songs, and an important influence on the American Folk revival in the 1950s. In a biography of Niles—I Wonder As I Wander—Professor Ron Pen of the University of Kentucky has observed that Niles created a completely different melody from the versions he had collected in Kentucky in 1916. The melody used for the choral arrangement on this disc is the version sung by Irish singer/songwriter Christy Moore, who learned the song from Scottish folk singer Hamish Imlach in 1968. This modern Scottish song is a rendering of an Appalachian antecedent of Niles’ version collected by Cecil Sharp in Kentucky and published in English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians (1917).
