notes: label: Description
content: This sheet music is for the song “Kathleen Mavourneen” that was composed by Frederick N. Crouch and published by George Dunn & Company of Richmond, Virginia around 1864. The sheet music says it was composed by a P.N. Crouch, but this is a misprint. The word “mavourneen” comes from the Irish Gaelic term “mo mhuirnín,” which means “my love.” The song became popular during the Civil War, thanks to the touring of Irish opera singer Catherine Hayes.
