The Londonderry Air is among the best loved melodies of Ireland. This beautiful version is arranged as a duet for one Violin and one Clarinet.

The Londonderry Air was first collected and notated in the mid-nineteenth century in County Londonderry in the North of Ireland, however, the origins of the melody remain unknown. In 1913 the English writer Frederic Weatherley set his poem Danny Boy to the melody. There are many other settings of the Londonderry Air, with various lyrics and in musical styles from orchestral to brass band to jazz, but Danny Boy remains the best known.

With a performance time of a little over three minutes, this version of Londonderry Air is perfect for recitals and concert performance.
