"Helen of Kirkconnel" is a famous Scottish ballad. ==History== It was published by Walter Scott in Volume 2 of ''The Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border''. An early version was also published by John Mayne. It is also known as "Kirkconnel Lea" and "Fair Helen". Here is one explanation of the story behind the ballad: It was published by Scott as "Fair Helen of Kirconnell". Nowadays most versions of the ballad use the current spelling of the town Kirkconnel. A popular tune to which the ballad was sung became the basis for a hymn tune, "Martyrdom", adapted by Hugh Wilson of Duntocher around 1800. A later version of Wilson's tune by Robert A. Smith is used in numerous modern hymnals.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Hymnary.org )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Helen of Kirkconnel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
