Performance notes:

Many a young brass player first learned this old Irish tune in the “Art of Phrasing” section of the “Arban’s Book,” but the song is much older, and only became associate with the poem by Thomas Moore in the 19th Century. Despite the disparity in age, the two seem to be made for each other.
The greatest challenge with the melody is keeping the phrasing smooth, and the feeling sentimental, and nostalgic, even as there are some larger interval jumps and square rhythms (dotted-8th-16th). The various ornaments should generally be executed without too much “lilt” or emphasis, however the appassionato section of the piece allows for a moderately exulted feeling to come through, and thus the ornaments may tend to naturally bounce a little bit more. The ensemble is routinely marked two dynamic degrees lower than the soloist. That may be too drastic a difference in practice, however, it is important to always hear the solo line as the primary line, and perhaps only at one place—bars 57 and 58—might the accompaniment lines reach up to match. To avoid any hint of stridence, forte markings were avoided. In place is ”pocof.” This is to underscore the importance of never crossing the line into a brassy, overbearing timbre. A feeling of sad affection should pervade always.
