@@juliasuiterviolin Aww thank you the little prince inspires me for my work as a primary teacher and part-time writer and ps I play the recorder/the flute!
Aww, that is so wonderful! How lovely that you play the recorder/flute as well! There are so many delightful tunes that are best suited for those instruments :)
I'm not exactly sure of the history of this song! It was published in Boston in 1876, but the character of Molly herself seems to reference some other folk tunes from the early 1800's. An 1884 edition from London mentions being reprinted from an earlier edition in Edinburgh. Regardless, Dublin has had a statue of Molly Malone since 1988, and apparently 19th-century fishmongers did used to cry "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive O!"
Hi Julia, thanks for the interesting reply.🙂 I found this.... There is a lot of debate as to whether or not Molly Malone was a real person who truly did exist. In 1988, a historian made the claim that they had found the real Molly Malone and identified her as a woman who had died in Dublin in 1699. Also, the phrase “sweet Molly Malone,” which is used in the “Cockles and Mussels” folksong (for which the earliest recording dates back to 1876), is mentioned earlier elsewhere: in a 1791 copy of “Apollo’s Medley.” It states that Molly was from the seaside village of Howth near Dublin city, which lends support to the theory that she was indeed a real person. However, aside from her name and residence near Dublin, there’s no hint that this Molly and the fishmonger are one and the same. Of course, as there is no concrete evidence, it has also been widely speculated that Molly Malone may just be a figure of fiction, perhaps inspired by a real person but only real in Irish folklore and songs. Who knows the truth? Thanks for your great music. I did House of the Rising Sun on my channel, this song also has a mysterious history.
