Subject: RE: Tune Req: She Moved Through The Fair From: GUEST Date: 27 Mar 13 - 02:42 PM Steve desperately trying to find accompaniment music for my daughter who wants to sing she moves through the fair for a feis? wonder if you can help at short notice Regards Angela |
Subject: RE: Sheet Music, She Moved Through The Fair From: Jim Lad Date: 25 May 07 - 11:12 PM Thanks PoppaGator for your comments about this song being best unaccompanied. I was going to say the same thing earlier but didn't want to discourage Gerry Hignett from his creative endeavours. One or two have managed to provide accompaniment for this song without taking too much away from the words but not too many. |
Subject: RE: Sheet Music, She Moved Through The Fair From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 25 May 07 - 08:48 PM Padráic Colum's song was originally published (Herbert Hughes, Irish Country Songs, London: Boosey & Co, 1909) with a piano accompaniment. The traditional song on which it was based (see the many other discussions on this song for further details) will have been sung without accompaniment, but that is not the subject of this thread. |
Subject: RE: Sheet Music, She Moved Through The Fair From: GUEST,terrier Date: 25 May 07 - 06:53 PM Just a thought, If you play an instrument,guitar, mandolin, concertina,or some such and you can play the melody of this song,try singing the song whilst playing the melody. The effect can be quite stunning. Although I agree with Poppagator, much better to sing it unaccompanied. |
Subject: RE: Sheet Music, She Moved Through The Fair From: PoppaGator Date: 25 May 07 - 06:08 PM It is often performed with no chords (unaccompanied), and very effectively at that. Some would contend that this is a prime example of a song that should NEVER be accompanied by an instrument. |
Subject: RE: Sheet Music, She Moved Through The Fair From: Jack Campin Date: 25 May 07 - 05:31 PM There was a discussion on uk.music.folk a few years ago in which David Kilpatrick gave it as an example of a tune you could accompany with just *one* chord. He may well have a sample of himself doing it on his Soundclick page. |
Subject: RE: Sheet Music, She Moved Through The Fair From: PoppaGator Date: 25 May 07 - 04:32 PM Gerry, Look above a few posts ~ Peter T supplied a set of chords back in 1999. |
Subject: RE: Sheet Music, She Moved Through The Fair From: GUEST,Gerry Hignett Date: 25 May 07 - 04:13 PM I would be really grateful to receive any suggestion of the chords for this beautiful lyric that you could send me. A very amateur folky! |

Subject: RE: Sheet Music, She Moved Through The Fair From: Steve Latimer Date: 06 Jul 99 - 04:58 PM Peter T, Thank you, I will pass this on to my sister tonight. I'm sure she will be able to figure it out by Friday. Thanks again to all. Steve |
Subject: Chords Add: SHE MOVED THROUGH THE FAIR From: Peter T. Date: 06 Jul 99 - 04:36 PM Dear Steve, This may not be of much help, but it was posted in the "RE: She Moves Thorugh the Fair" Thread we had here some time ago, by SingsIrishSongs. When I play it in my rudimentary way, I often throw in an Amin in the third line. It is very modal music, so going back and forth between the D and the C works out. It is the voice that moves, not the accompaniment. yours, Peter T. SHE MOVED THROUGH THE FAIR

Subject: RE: Sheet Music, She Moved Through The Fair From: Steve Latimer Date: 06 Jul 99 - 04:16 PM Susan, thank you for the offer, but my sister needs it to accompany a guest artist at her show this Friday. If we don't find it time I will take you up on your offer of snail mail. SingsIrishSongs, I tried that site, but I couldn't connect by e-mail. I will try again tomorrow. Thanks to both of you. It sure is a beautiful song. Steve |

Subject: RE: Sheet Music, She Moved Through The Fair From: Susan A-R Date: 05 Jul 99 - 05:52 PM Steve, if you want to put your snail mail address in my box, I believe I can copy sheet music and send it. Susan A-R |
Subject: Sheet Music, She Moved Through The Fair From: Steve Latimer Date: 05 Jul 99 - 03:40 PM Wondering if anyone knows a site where I could get guitar sheet music for "She Moved Through The Fair". Barring that, tab would suffice. Searched OLGA and drew a blank. Thanks, Steve Latimer |
