Description
Trio based on an old English folk song.
It was originally written for flute, viola and cello
This version with cor anglais/English horn in place of the viola
(suitably tweaked to fit the range etc)
was created specially for a group called Trio da Capo.
Now the sun is shining brightly;
Old and young and stiff and sprightly,
Treading swiftly, treading lightly,
Dance the Fling at Mallow.
O, the dancing through the town,
O, the prancing up and down,
Priest and parson, king and clown,
Dance the Fling at Mallow.
Till the fires of night are burning,
Dance they all, sad sorrow spurning,
Happy then to home returning
From the Fling at Mallow.
O, the dancing through the town,
O, the prancing up and down,
Priest and parson, king and clown,
Dance the Fling at Mallow.
