By Enya. By Robert Lowry. Arranged by Sandy McIntire. Chamber,Folk,Religious,Spiritual,Traditional. 13 pages. Sandy McIntire #720130. Published by Sandy McIntire (A0.1118637).HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING, also known as MY LIFE FLOWS ON IN ENDLESS SONG, was composed by Robert Lowry who fit his lyric to an early American folk tune. First appearing shortly after the American Civil War, the hymn took over a century to gain in popularity. Pete Seeger revived the hymn in the 1960s, and it has gained in popularity since then. Irish artist Enya recorded it in 1991 in her album, Shepherd Moons. This arrangement is for an INTERMEDIATE STRING ENSEMBLE (two violins and cello). Separate sheets for each instrument are provided. Its haunting and nostalgic melody and harmonies are perfect for performance as a string trio. Other similar arrangements by McIntire are Fairest Lord Jesus and Flowers of Edinburgh, as well as an intermediate piano arrangement of this song are also available at this web site.
