The jig "Missing the Wren" was written by Seán Moloney; it's on his album Music on the Wind where he explains, regarding the festivities where he lives in East Galway, "I made up the tune 'Missing the Wren' in the millennium year on St Stephen's day, wren day, when I thought I wouldn't make it out due to a cold, but as the day progressed I improved and eventually did make the 'Wren' with my wife Irene and fiddle player Sheila O'Dowd." The recording's not online, but it goes like so:

Then there's The Boys of Barr na Sráide, a mid-20th-century song by Sigerson Clifford, evoking the wren hunt as the quintessence of the author's memories of rural Ireland.
