	Frederick Weatherly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Frederick Edward Weatherly (1848-1929) was an English lawyer, author, songwriter and radio entertainer.
		Frederick Weatherly (usually known as Fred) was born in Somerset and after schooling at Hereford Cathedral School graduated from Oxford University with a degree in Classics 1871.
		Weatherly wrote the song "Danny Boy" in 1910, but it did not meet with much success.

	The Holy City
		Weatherly, the Lennon and McCartney of their day, were believed by the family to have been lovers.
		Weatherly lifts a corner of the veil to reveal that his whole approach to popular lyric writing was informed by some of the esoteric and intellectual aspects of Freemasonry.
		The other poet Weatherly evokes is Burns and it is notable that in the figure of the Scots poet, he sees the figure of the psalmist David in a kind of visual reverie.

		They were actually intended for a different tune, but when Weatherly's sister-in-law sent him some years later the familiar melody from her home in Australia, he saw that it was a perfect fit for his earlier verses.
		Wordsmith Weatherly was once in legal partnership with one of the sons of Charles Dickens.
		And another of Weatherly's lyrics was the popular "Roses of Picardy," set to music memorably by Haydn Wood.

		The melody was given to Weatherly by his American sister-in-law, who had supposedly heard Irish-American laborers singing it.
		Weatherly had already written the lyrics and found they adapted easily to the tune.
		Although Weatherly died in 1929, wrote an autobiography and had 1,500 published works, he apparently never shed much light on the meaning of his most popular tune.

		Weatherly also wrote a number of books including children's books and several quite serious titles including Questions in Logic, Progressive and General; The Rudiments of Logic, Inductive and Deductive and Musical and Dramatic Copyright.
		Weatherly wrote hundreds of songs among them few if any that have survived the decades since like Danny Boy has.
		Little noticed today, Weatherly ranks at the top of the list of 19th and early twentieth century songwriters in terms of output having produced thousands of songs.

	Danny Boy
		It seems that Weatherly was among the most prolific of songwriters, having literally thousands of compositions to his credit--most of them thoroughly forgettable.
		After his composition failed to catch on, Weatherly recast the words to a tune that had been in circulation for many years, "Londonderry Air." Its first appearance in print was 1855, but is said by many to have been composed long before.
		Its immediate antecedent appears to be a piece entitled, "Aisling an Ógfhir," or "The Young Man's Dream," which was collected by one Edward Bunting (1773-1843), who had it from Denis Hempson (1697-1807), the very last traditional performer on the Irish harp.

	Danny Boy--the Mystery solved!
		As far as is known, Weatherly never set foot in Ireland.
		Graves took strong except to having the folk-tune 'poached', and it seems that the friendship with Weatherly came to an abrupt end.
		The most prolific poet of the Edwardian—and for that matter Victorian and Georgian—ballad, the genial and indefatiguable Fred E. (Frederick Edward) Weatherly (1848-1929) was virtually a one-man song factory.

		Well, it certainly surprised me, and it will probably surprise you, to learn that the latest contender for the dubious privilege of having been Jack the Ripper, had a brother who was an internationally successful writer of ballads and concert pieces, and was equally well-known in London as a concert singer and concert entrepreneur.
		Weatherly also wrote libretti for a number of other celebrated British composers, including Arthur Sullivan, of Gilbert and Sullivan, and Eric Coates, one of the best known of British composers of light music.
		Although the journal which came to light in 1993, purporting to be written by James Maybrick during the period of the murders, is still regarded as suspect, it has not yet been conclusively proved to be a fraud, and one of Britain's foremost Ripperologists, writer Colin Wilson, now regards Maybrick as the most credible candidate.

	Bless This House Song, Bible Studies Nondenominational, sung by tenor Joe McPartland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Even today, this song is widely and frequently heard in church, music halls, on television and radio—as well as being available in many recordings by the best known Tenors, Sopranos and Baritones.
		Weatherly also wrote the lyrics to another great World War I hit "Roses of Picardy," with music composed by Haydn Wood, and he wrote lyrics for Arthur Sullivan, of Gilbert and Sullivan operetta fame.
		Although Weatherly had over 1,500 songs published, there is simply no doubt that his greatest success as a lyricist was in his song "Danny Boy," which he so beautifully and poignantly conformed to the plaintive melody of a very old Irish air.

		Weatherly attended Hereford Cathedral School and Brasenose College at Oxford.

		In fact, the ENGLISH lyricist Frederick Weatherly published the words in 1913.
		While it's clear that Fred Weatherly wrote the cherished words, the origin of the melody is a bit hazier.
		Michael Robinson, who has written extensively on the subject of Danny Boy, says it's most likely that the tune known as Londonderry Air or Air from County Derry, was transcribed by Jane Ross who claimed she heard it played by a blind fiddler.

		People often assume that Danny Boy is a very old song, and they credit it as "Traditional", but in fact, Weatherly didn't compose it until 1910.
		The song wasn't successful until he abandoned his own music in 1913 and revised the lyrics to fit a melody his sister-in-law sent him from the United States.
		Weatherly, a highly successful songwriter who wrote and published more than 1500 "hits", never said who was singing this song to Danny Boy.

	'Danny Boy: The Legend of the Beloved Irish Ballad' -- A Review From The Wild Geese Today
		When the song was first published, back in 1913, the lyricist was an English barrister by the name of Frederick Edward Weatherly.
		McCourt introduces us to Weatherly and his family in an attempt to determine who exactly he was writing the song about.
		In the process, he explores the political situation at the time and allows us to see how very unlikely an event it was that an English song could become so important to the Irish.

	User talk:BCV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The source of the lyrics is well known, so there is no need to speculate about its meaning.
		Take this from the second external link: Lyrics written in 1910 by Frederick Weatherly (not Irish and without having heard the Londonderry Air); first recorded in 1915 by Ernestine Schumann-Heink (female); second verse particularly noted by Weatherby (who wrote 1500 songs) about the final words of Ellen Terry (female) before her death in 1928.
		So all the evidence, including the words themselves, suggest this a love song from a woman to a man and there is nothing to suggest that when the words were written it had anything to do with Ireland.
