The Wild Mountain Thyme Song

The Wild Mountain Thyme song has appealing Irish lyrics, and a beautiful melody. Download free tabs & sheet music for:

• Guitar in the keys of C & D
• Middle C piano arrangements, with and without lettered note heads
• Piano arrangements to accompany singers in the keys of F & G (and now one in a lower key, Eb)

Please scroll down the page to find the free download links for these free arrangements!

The intermediate piano arrangement

Ella Roberts' version has been an inspiration to my vocal students, and to me as well... I've wanted to sing this music for years, but had never encountered the melody sung in 3/4 or 6/8 time.  Yes, really!  My only knowledge of the piece was a nebulous melody written in 4/4, which never quite seemed to work for me.

Ella Roberts' video seems to swing beautifully along with pulsing energy!  I love it.

The key of C is low for many singers

My piano arrangements for accompanying singers are in higher keys: D, F, and G.

Arrangements for beginner piano

I've arranged two Middle C shared-hands versions for beginning piano students, with 6/4 timing instead of 3/4, so they can count easily - no dotted quarter notes!

The one shown below includes all lettered notes:

An easy piano arrangement

The only tricky spots in this arrangement come from the left hand using broken chord INVERSIONS.  They are very pretty, but may pose a challenge initially.

A fancier piano version

This arrangement is similar to the "easy" version, but adds a few chord tones in the right hand, and generally has bigger broken chords in the left hand.  It is also three pages long - I decided to change the sound for the second and fourth verses.

A satisfying choral arrangement

My small choir - six girls this year - performed this lovely arrangement at our spring recital.   We enjoyed practising it just as much as performing it, I think!  Strangely enough, this arrangement STARTS with 4 beats a measure, then switches to 3 beats on page 3!  There is a definite change in the emotional texture when that happens.
