"I was always struck that this happy song was written in a minor key, not going to the major until the chorus."

I didn't know enough about music in 1972 to realize that - it is certainly counter-intuitive. Yet I think the key change makes absolute sense given the text.


"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Publius]

Ah, written like a Schubert afficianado.

Mac - where we come from, Glen Campbell is a place, not someone’s name. :)
