A rehearsal performance of a waltz derived from The Eagles Whisper, collected from Bridget Geary in 1906 by Lucy Broadwood. After a number of rehearsals, although retaining the feel of the original the melody became somewhat changed (the folk process in operation). Performed here by Ralph Jordan and Keith Kendrick

Eagles Whisper Waltz

A rehearsal recording for a show about the life and work of Lucy Broadwood. Vocals led by Keith Kendrick, harmonies Irene Shettle, bouzouki Ralph Jordan. The melody is a composite derived from various versions of the song. It was one of the earliest songs that Lucy remembered hearing as a 6 year old . It was a song she did not hear again until 25 years later. We don 't know exactly which words or tune Lucy actually heard.
