Back to Poor Irish Boy

POOR IRISH BOY. Irish. This melody must have impressed Classical composer George Friederich Handel during his nine month stay in Ireland as he copied it out in musical setting in a c. 1742 MS book (as "Der arme Irische Junge") which was in the Fitzwilliam Museum at the turn of the (20th) century (Grattan Flood, A History of Irish Music , 1906). Flood thinks he probably heard it in Dublin.
