    There are truly some youth orchestras out there that are world-class. What a masterful performance. Take any orchestra in the world and you won't hear this played any better or with more sentimentality, only equaled. Absolutely gorgeous.

    Grainger and this orchestra produced a controlled mellowness..I am sure Grainger would be more than pleased if he had been able to hear youth from his native country perform this composition so well.

    Oh my goodness!! This splendid melody, set by Percy Grainger, in the hands of these magnificent musicians literally tugs at the soul, and lifts the spirit in such an indescribable way, that emotion
    becomes overwhelming. The song "Danny Boy" was popular during WW2, and I was named after
    the title. There were five other Dannys in my first grade class, so as it was impressive then, this
    version crowns them all. The words are significant as well. Thank you very much indeed for posting this fine video for many of us to enjoy after the event, and long into the future.

      Published as "Irish Tune from County Derry" - there are several formats for piano, wind ensemble, and modern arrangements. Be careful which you buy. It sounds like we are hearing the "string orchestra" version here, but he added the horn parts from the full orchestra or band version in on the final line.
      They can be purchased here:
