And all the forest trees bent down to listen to his tune I heard a piper playing, I know not what he played But all the fairies danced for him, a-down the moonlit glade." |

Anything else which would help with identification? Any unusual instruments? I just tried Googling each of the lines from the song with quote marks around the line to help narrow down the search. Not a lot came up. Gary Stadler seems to have a few fairy songs. Might be worth checking out. |

It’s a great song for a 10 year old to sing. I can still remember the tune. Incredible you I won out of 85 entrants. One of my better moments!?? |

If you sing it in performance at a music festival, your choir director is going to beat it into you - whether you like it or not. I've gone through that agony time and time again. I admit that it was good for me - but it was painful. COVID was a good excuse for me to quit choir. I started in fifth grade. -Joe- |
