about

Lyrics by Jonathan Swift, 1667-1745
Music composed by Dave Soldier

Helter Skelter has a traditional tune, The Little Pack of Tailors as sung
by Elizabeth Cronin. The Maids of Mitchelstown is a traditional reel from a recording by the Bothy Band. The original melody of O’Rourke’s Planxty is derived from a collaboration between the composer Turlough O’Carolan with the original poet in Gaelic, Hugh Mac Gouran, and Swift, who translated Mac Gouran’s poem to English for O’Carolan. Only the melody survives, and I use fragments of it.

"Stella’s Birthday uses the melody of O’Carolan’s Si Bheag Si Mhor.
The other themes may use Celtic forms but are my own inventions."
-Dave Soldier, New York City, April 12, 2011
