Leaving Home; Filled with Hope

I am drawn to melodies that reflect my family’s migration from Ireland in the mid 1800’s. Two tunes that fit this genre are “East of

River Shannon” and “River of Dreams” both lyrical gems by Arlene Faith Kortwright, which conjure images of weary travelers

seeking a new home in America. Also included is the beautiful Irish traditional, “Slane” otherwise knows as “Be Thou my Vision.”
