A convincing and sensitive arrangement! The piano part is a pleasure to play with its variety of beautiful harmonies and the rippling semiquavers in the second verse. This professionally arranged version is particularly suitable for a concert of Scottish/Celtic music. Highly recommended!

Composed by Thomas Moore. Arranged by Alex Nunes Rodrigues. Folk. 2 pages. Alex Rodrigues #1069287. Published by Alex Rodrigues (A0.1492609).

The Last Rose of Summer is a work deeply rooted in Irish culture, originally penned as a poem by the renowned poet and composer Thomas Moore in 1805. Moore, regarded as Ireland’s national poet, was inspired by an 'Old Blush' rose while staying at Jenkinstown Castle in County Kilkenny, Ireland. The poem was published as part of his Irish Melodies collection between 1807 and 1834, and later set to music by fellow Irishman John Stevenson. The song gained widespread popularity and was incorporated into the opera Martha by the German composer Friedrich von Flotow, which premiered in 1847 in Vienna.

This sheet music has been adapted for voice and piano, preserving the original melody true to the composition by Moore and Stevenson. The piano arrangement has been simplified to provide an accessible experience for music teachers who, even without extensive piano skills, wish to accompany their students. This arrangement maintains the melodic and emotional essence of the piece, offering a version that honors its traditional nuances while making it approachable for beginner to intermediate musicians.

The Last Rose of Summer captures the essence of melancholy and the passage of time—universal themes reflected in the farewell to the last vestige of a vibrant summer. The melody, paired with Moore’s poetry, evokes a profound sense of loss and longing, with the solitary rose serving as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of life and the seasons. The simplicity and beauty of this piece have made it a classic, both in literature and music, perpetuating Irish tradition and touching the hearts of listeners worldwide.

I am not a huge fan of Mahler's music but his Kindertotenlieder is a cultural gem!   I inadvertently discovered that the poet Friedrich Rückert who penned Kindertodtenlieder (yes, with a d ... LOL!) wrote 400-plus of these KTL poems after his two youngest children died of scarlet fever.  I bought the book @ Amazon.   After plowing through 442 of them, I winnowed it down to ten poems for my song cycle.  It is scored for soprano and piano.  NB: I cannot afford an orchestra, and it would be too much unnecessary work.  LOL!!!  The entire song cycle has a duration of ca. 35 minutes.  It ends like a mechanical music box while the soprano sings a lullaby.  Sleep is of course a perfect metaphor for being dead.  

Enjoy!!!
