Although now thought o as an Irish olk song, the melody o I Have a Bonnet Trimmed with Blue is almost certainly Scottish in origin. Migration o lantation workers across the waters between England, Scotland and Ireland resulted in an exchange o melodies and words. Many songs became Irish. Words were set to Irish melodies or lyrics changed to give them a more Irish lavour including local lace names, Irish words and so on. I irst came across this olk song at the age o 7 in a school recorder grou. I loved the little olka even then, was immediately draw to it and quickly committed it to memory. The melody continued to haunt me throughout my school years as it seemed to be a oular erormance choice with music teachers - to both sing and lay. To me, the lyrics call or a un and resh aroach. With the oortunity or layul ostinatos and imitation, I Have a Bonnet seems to be an obvious choice to arrange or women s voices. Georgina Craig
