I have always loved this beautiful tune. There is an arrangement by Fred Harz that I have used as a base for my arrangement. I added a modulation into A-Major and changed many things, including rhythms and harmonies. Thanks to Fred Harz for inspiring me.
On this foggy day in Copenhagen I thought it was perfect to record it. TAB and score are available here: http://shop.per-olovkindgren.com ....
"Londonderry Air" is a tune that originated from County Londonderry in Ireland (now Northern Ireland). It is popular among the Irish and is also very well known throughout the world. The songs "Danny Boy" and "We Are Not Alone" uses the same tune, with a set of different lyrics. The tune is played as the victory anthem of Northern Ireland at the Commonwealth Games.

Some surprising chords like the right flavour for some delicate food!
And I like also the modulation in A.
Jazzy Peo - wow ! Fantastic arrangement!
