Her Mantle So Green
Her Mantle So Green is a traditional Irish air and song of uncertain specific origin that tells a common narrative of a disguised lover testing fidelity. Set in 3/4 time in E minor, the tune moves with the gentle, flowing rhythm characteristic of a traditional waltz. Because its historical background and authorship are not firmly established, performers typically interpret the melody with an expressive and lyrical character suited to its poignant ballad text.
