ARRAH MY DEAR EVELEEN (Ara Mo Eiblin Dileas). AKA and see "Silent O Moyle!" "Song of Finnula/Fionnuala." Irish, Air (4/4 time). A Minor (O'Neill): E Minor (Clinton). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Thomas Moore (1779-1852) set his song "Song of Finnula" (about the daughter of the god Lir) to this air (which also supplies the other alternate title, derived from the first line: "Silent, oh Moyle! be the roar of thy water"). "Arrah My Dear Eveleen" was first published in Holden's Irish Tunes, vol. 1 (1806, p. 21, as "Arah my dear Ev'len"), supplied by collector George Petrie, the source for the version in Moore's Irish Melodies, published the next year (1807). A later editor of Moore's work, Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924), was of the opinion that the sharpening of the seventh degree of the scale destroyed the original, preferable, form of the tune.
