Thread Name: Recordings of Thomas Moore's songs
Subject: RE: Recordings of Thomas Moore's songs
"The Meeting of the Waters" is a favorite. Moore wrote it in 1807 about the Vale of Avoca, Co. Wicklow. (The town of Avoca was the setting for TV's "Ballykissangel".) It's a song that lends itself to a folky approach, more so than most of Moore's.
