- The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square perform the Irish folk tune, "Danny Boy," at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado during the 2009 Central US Tour. "Danny Boy" is arranged by Mack Wilberg.
Lyrics:
O Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountainside
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
O Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so.
But when ye come and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
And I shall hear though soft you tread above me
And all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.

The song is known in Ireland as The Derry Air, which means the Derry Tune. Derry being an Irish city and County. A lady visiting and staying overnight in lodgings heard a travelling bard (a fiddle player) play the tune outside her window on the street.. No words are known to have existed. She asked a song writer to put words to it. It's about a father seeing his son off to war. having lost one son already. Danny, Dan, Donal, Daniel and Donald are the same name. It can be a first or second name. If a surname, it is likely to be prefixed by O (of the clan) or Mac (son of). It connects back to the biblical book of Daniel. Meaning strong man blessed by God. In the prophecy it was said a strong man would emerge as a leader in the world about now. Watch out for him, it is said is name will be Daniel and the hand of God is upon him.
LONDON derry per my irish wife born and raised there..
Derry to some .....Londonderry to others........ as with most things in Ireland nothing is straightforward.... best wishes from Ireland
known as the " Londonderry Air "
Well I’m a little old in the tooth now and my back is a bit bowed by the load the Lord has placed there, but it has softened me and made me a better man because of it.
Love that story
The Londonderry Air must be the most beautiful song ever written . . .
Such a powerful song. It touches us the way we, uniquely human, should be touched. I love singing this song, but find it difficult to finish it without crying.
My little brother Danny died of meningitis aged 7 in 1945, my parents were poor Irish working class people.
My mother had 10 children 6 died and only 4 of us survived to adulthood.
But, both of my parents never got over the loss of this precious little boy.
It brings me to tears every time I hear this song I never knew my brother but he has a place in all of our families hearts.
We are now only 3 siblings left my darling older sister died on Easter Sunday from the coronavirus, she is so sadly missed by us all.
But, I, pray to the almighty that one day soon we will all be reunited as a family in heaven if God so wills it. Amen
Thank you kingdom choir for a beautiful rendition of this famous Irish ballad.
The only time a ballad was written for a father to a dead son in Irish folklore.
We can always send them our comprehetion of their son desteny and finally give them a rest on Lords Heart. Have my profund respect
God bless your family.
😢
My empathy. May the Lord comfort and strengthen you and your family on your loss of those dear ones. My own mother also lost 2 daughters in their infancy to Measles in Africa. And for years, she cried over her loss. She still remembers them and her loss with some emotion. But thank God, she found the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ and has hopes that someday we shall all meet as a united family never to be parted again.
My husbands name is Danny ,,fondly called by his friend and me as”DANNY BOY”,,He passed away 4 years ago,,his death anniversary is coming this April,,and i saw this choir singing it,,i really cried,,i did not finish listening to the choir,,maybe later on,,i cried,so sad😭😭

I knew this song from my dad, when i was young, dad so love this song, ... but now my dad was rest in Christ.
I lived this song. I departed for Iraq and got home seven days before my father died.
I can still remember my mother calling to me these many years ago...Oh Danny Boy where are you ?..may you rest in peace my beloved mother...your son. ..danny thomas
My dad was called sonny boy by his parents and he used to sing this song to us . It makes me sad yet happy to hear it.
My dads name was Daniel so we called him danny boy I miss you dad ❤
My cousin Danny was named after this song, it was a favorite of his father's
This song is for my cousin Scott who died un Nov 12 unexpectedly...you were like a brother to me my you rest in peace and god rest your soul. May we meet again on green pastures.
I love this song it reminds me of my dad who passed away
His name was Daniel and his family called him Danny Boy.
I miss him so much and he would sing this song to us as children many times.😪😪
This was my Grandmothers favorite song . She sang it to me when I was little. This version gives me goosebumps! Thank you for sharing.
I like this version but the one I listen to the most is byu vocal point they covered it a few years ago I love that one. Also did you know it was president Gordon b hinckley favourite hymn
One of the most beautiful songs ever , greetings from Ireland ,☘️
I think think if these beautiful hymns were played around the world, It would stop the corona virus, i would like to rise all these hymns to the altar of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
I'm from north eastern India and I love this song from my heart, you really needn't to be an Irishman to feel the beauty of the wonderful song.
You dont have to be Irish, just human
So sweet and melodious
Thanks
Aloha to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and everyone else responsible for this iconic song "Danny Boy." Let's do our best and ask God's protection for
the whole world as we are living such troubled times~~~~Covid-19 pandemic killing millions of people all over the world, climate change affecting humans
and all other living creatures too, hostility and waging wars among nations in the world, etc. In Jesus's name I humbly ask for your prayers and positive
actions to promote more loving kindness and peace in this troubled planet !!!!!! Sincerely, Robert S.J. Hu September 30, 2020.
Takes you out of this world, into another realm of appreciation.
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,
If I am dead, as dead I well may be,
You'll come and find the place where I am lying,
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!
My friend just died lass than a month ago .She faithfully babysat her two precious grandchildren daily Daniel just turned 5 . Just came across this beautifu lsong I am sure he wiil miss her very much
Sang this to my son 38 years ago . When he started to sing it ,he always puy a little extra into "I love you so". Irish you may not be by blood ,but this song gets to any person who has loved ones distant.
Absolutely Stunning. It's like the sound of Angels in Heaven 😇😇
One of the most perfound prices of music ever written performed in one of the most magnificent venues in the world
I love the Tabernacle Choir...voices are angelic and they always bring the Spirit of the Lord in all their performances...so wondrous and great...!!!
A lovely song.
Choral singing almost always seems to elevate a song from lyrics being sung in a melody into a heartfelt communion between the listener and the Divine.
I feel like if each choir member is a thread, then the choir is a window shade, and their unisoned singing is the voice of God, permeating from just beyond the veil.
One of my all-time favorite Irish songs and done so beautifully by the Mormon Choir!
I had the privilege of seeing the Tabernacle choir rehearse on Temple Square last October for the first time . I closed my eyes to focus on the singing. To me it was most heavenly sound I had heard. 5 days before that I watched them sing 'Loves Divine, all Loves Excelling' at the end of the morning session of General Conference. It was that wonderful it brought me to tears.
Red Rocks Colorado is one of the most unique places I have ever been. Very few people were there the day we stopped just to see the place. My kids had no trouble at all hearing my scolding from the "stage". .. and neither did the other people in the back who applauded.

This song makes me cry every time. How emotional...
love this song
Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver, Colorado is one of world's most beautiful, natural, musical ventures for concerts! Awesome performance!
God must felt intense joy to see this quire from above. Imagine what joy we will share soon with Jesus in heaven.
I believe I have all the Choir's albums; they're the best. And, if you like Danny Boy, you should view Shenandoah. The Orchestra at Temple Square and Bells of Temple Square are such marvelous additions to this fabulous choir. Thanks to all of you, you're just precious.
God is in that beautiful song. PDK
This is soothing and marvelous
A beautiful song that tugs at the heart string. Glory to you Lord Jesus!
This version is an uprising of serene melding together of everyone's spirit..beautiful indeed..
Wow, what a great sound & what a great song
Simply touching and beautiful! Dear God, guide us to abide by Your rules until we meet in Your Kingdom one day!
Unforgettable!

Brothers and sisters, you have kept me going through this Pandemic. God Bless you All.❤💯
The lost of love ones is a great lost but they are now will jesus
Red Rocks Amphitheater outside Denver is a wonderful experience
The ones who gave thumbs down don't even have the slightest idea how difficult it is to lead a choir to such delicate dynamics. The arrangement may be kitsch, but the interpretation makes it art.
How is it possible to give a thumbs down on such a beautiful gift?!
. “ the better angels of our nature “
And I shall hear,
though soft you tread above me,
and I'll sleep in peace , till one day,
you come to me.
For you see, all the ravages of time ,
can not tarnish the luster of a father's true love for his children.
Forever and a day.
Irish folksongs are usually emotional....Nice rendition
I was at this concert. One of the most moving and spiritual experiences of my life. President Monson was there and the choir was amazing in the most beautiful venue in the world to see live music. Especially music of this caliber.
History tells Danny Boy was the first love song in the world. Its 1000 years old
Warms the soul!
Probably few dry eyes in the audience, I don't know how the choir gets through it without tearing up... wonderful post thanks!
I will remember my mom for this song.
He Looks My Fault and Saw My Need ....
My Father in Law Alfie LISLE of Sunderland UK, loved this piece of music. having gone through 6 years of WW2 I think he sought solace and peace in the music
Bruce's Dad from Scotland loved this❤❤❤ Very beautiful, gives me chills🙏🙏🙏
Speechless, appropriate for what we live today. Beautiful song and moving.
