The Sweetness Of Mary
This sweet tune was written in 1987 by Cape Breton composer Joan MacDonald Boes. I've arranged it for tenor guitar and mandolin, with guitar backing. There are variant structures and keys for this tune, depending on where and with whom it's played, but I'm playing it here in its original form, in the written key of A. The tenor guitar and mandolin are a matched pair made for me by Sussex luthier and fellow musician Ian Chisholm.
