Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Mark Sirett. Folk song. Octavo. 8 pages. Cypress Choral Music #CP 1382. Published by Cypress Choral Music (C3.CP-1382).

The Cliffs of Dooneen is a popular and haunting Irish folk song that extols the rugged beauty of the Atlantic coast. The final verse expresses longing for the homeland--a sentiment shared by many Irish immigrants during the nineteenth century when they were forced to leave for North America because of the Great Famine. This arrangement was written for Sister Rita Clare and the Cape Breton Chorale for the Celtic Colours Festival in 2008. The SSA version is dedicated to Ann McIntyre, Conductor of the Edmonton Children's Choir.
