Buachaill Ón Eirne (“A Lad from the Éirne.” also
known as “Come By The Hills”)
Little is known about this traditional Irish folk song
however, the air is Irish, the song is
Scottish, as the lyrics of Come By The Hills were
composed by a Scottish television producer W. Gordon
Smith to this very old tune.
Although originally written for folk instruments, I
created this arrangement for Oboe, Flute & Concert
(Pedal) Harp.
