Text:

Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flow'rs are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
I pray you'll find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warm and sweeter be
And then you'll kneel and whisper that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.

The Heroine Triumphant links four songs of the 1890s which together trace the story of a young girl who comes to town in search of her brother (“Mother Was a Lady”); she is cruelly deceived by a drummer, an unscrupulous low-life, claiming to know her brother.  He proposes marriage, but in “Take Back Your Gold we find his intentions are less than honorable.  The heroine finds herself alone and cast out in “She Is More To Be Pitied Than Censured.”  Finally, she rises above her misery and woe to find a new life in “Ta-ra-ra-Boom-de-ay!”

The opening barbershop quartet may be sung by a small ensemble, but the character voices of the narrator and the drummer should be assigned to soloists.  The Heroine Triumphant easily lends itself to some simple staging.

The Heroine Triumphant - Steven Sametz

Magnificat anima mea Dominum
et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo.
Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae:
ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnet,
Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est:
et sanctum nomen ejus.

Et misericordia a progenie in progenies
in progenies timentibus eum.
Fecit potentiam in brachio suo dispersit superbos
mente cordis sui Deposuit potentes de sede,
et exaltavit humiles.

Esurientes implevit bonis:
et divites inanes.
Suscepit Israel puerum suum
recordatus misericordiae suae.
Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros,
Abraham et semini ehus in saecula.

Gloria Patri, et Filio,
et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio,
et nunc, at semper,
et in saecula saeculorum.

Amen.
