"She Moved through the Fair", is a Traditional Irish Ballad, the origins of which are unknown, although the first words were published in 1909.

The song is about a young man who sees his beloved at a fair and she tells him that her mother and father won't mind and that she will walk home by herself and he sees her go "with her goods and her gear, with one Star awake, as the swan in the evening glides over the lake." She meets with a tragic death and later her Soul comes in to touch the young grief-stricken man, telling him that their wedding day is soon, giving one to understand that they will be together in Heaven© .

Written: 1991-93
Duration: ca. 3'
Instrumentation: 4 1/3 octave marimba (six-mallets)
Premiere: various locations, Robert Paterson, marimba.

PROGRAM NOTE
Postlude No. 1 was written at the Hambidge Center for the Creative Arts & Sciences where I was in residence during the summer of 1991. I stayed in a cabin in the middle of the woods, approximately one mile away from any people. There was a cool, clear, spring-water brook running near my cabin, and a smooth, falling-water creek named Patterson Creek about a half mile away; I would visit these small streams every day. These calm memories, the beautiful mountains (this center is located in the Appalachian Mountains), the beautiful scenery and the generally friendly aura of Georgia I experienced are what influenced me to start writing these Postludes, specifically Postlude No. 1.

Music & Lyrics by © STEPHEN MELILLO IGNA 11 November 2011

Do you think we're standing here because of you? 
Hammered to our knees with all your rules? 

Thank you for the Heartache, 
Thank you for the Slander, 
Thank you for your Lies and don't forget to Pander! 
Thank you for the kicks when I was on the ground and 
thanks for taking me around and around 

Despite all else, we've beat your Fear! 
Despite all else we're standing here! 

If you want to know the Truth 
I'm grateful to you! 
Beaten to a pulp, all black and blue. 

Thank you for the Struggle, 
Thank you for the Hardship, 
Thank you for the nightmares 
Thank you for the Pain! 

Thank you for the slaps and turnin' my face red! 
I'll still be around even after I am Dead! 

Despite all else, we've beat your Fear! 
Despite all else we're standing here! 
Standing tall, we're stayin' here! 
Despite all else we're Stand-ing here! 

Do you think we're standing tall because of you? 
Cowards are the fools 
you use as tools. 

Thank you for the Darkness, 
Thank you for the taxes. 
Thank you for your lectures 
that cut us down like axes! 

Thank you for the P. C. 
Thank you for the put-downs, 
Thank you for the Lies 
that took us 'round and 'round! 

Despite all else we're standing here! 
Despite all else, we have no Fear! 
Standing tall, we're stayin' here! 
Despite all else, we're standing here! 

Despite all else, all else! 

Do you think we're standing here without duress? 
Living in a world you've made a mess... 

Thank you for your small brain
Thank you for your small heart
Thank you for your Wars and for killing all the Art! 
Thank you for the deals you closed behind the door! 
We're still standing here, and we're mopping up the Floor!

Despite all else we've beat your Fear! 
Despite all else we're standing here! 
Standing tall, we're stayin' here! 
Despite all else we're standing here! 
Standing here! 
Standing here!
