Reginald Heber version

[edit]

Should the entirety of these lyrics be included in this article? I formatted what was already entered, but, while the tune is (supposedly) used, I think Heber's version should have its own article with a link to this one, or only be mentioned without all of its lyrics.

It should be referenced only in thus article, have removed lyrics of derivative version. --Damnbutter 09:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A few removals

[edit]

Made a few removals. For instance, The Minstrel Boy is set to the Irish aire called the Moreen. The Son of God Goes forth to war, used in The Man Who Would be King, is not set to the Minstrel Boy, but rather to the Moreen, ergo it has been removed from this article. If anyone disagrees, feel free to revert my two edits. Thanks 76.68.36.64 04:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Profiles in Courage

[edit]

Moved the following here as I believe it is incorrect: "* The melody, combined with a bell ringing effect image, was the main series title of the awarding 1965 TV series Profiles in Courage, based on the book by President John F. Kennedy, music composed by Nelson Riddle.
It appears that Riddle used the tune The Boys of Wexford, not The Moreen. Mannanan51 (talk) 04:45, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

[edit]

Looking at the history of this article, it appears that yesterday (August 5, 2017) there was an act of vandalism to the section on the original lyrics of this song. I have tried to correct this to the best of my ability, but please add further modification to re-store the original version if I made errors. Vorbee (talk) 17:53, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
