Editing Frederic Weatherly (section)

== Works ==
The first of Weatherly's well-known works was the hymn "The Holy City", written in 1892 to music by the British composer [[Stephen Adams (composer)|Stephen Adams]]. The song includes the refrain "Jerusalem, Jerusalem!". He wrote the song "[[Danny Boy]]" while living in [[Bath, Somerset|Bath]] in 1910, but it did not meet with much success. In 1912 his sister-in-law Margaret Enright Weatherly in America suggested an old Irish tune called "[[Londonderry Air]]", which he had never heard before. Margaret had learned the tune from her Irish-born father Dennis. The tune matched his lyrics almost perfectly. He published the now-famous song in 1913. His ballad "[[Roses of Picardy]]", written in 1916 and set to music by [[Haydn Wood]], was one of the most famous songs from [[World War I]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Tyler|first1=Don|title=Music of the First World War|date=2016|publisher=ABC-CLIO|isbn=9781440839979|page=23|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LCqyCwAAQBAJ&q=Roses+of+Picardy+song+world+war+one+popular&pg=PA23}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Edward Street, Bath: The Fred Weatherly Story|date=30 July 2014 |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p022nn4b|publisher=BBC|access-date=3 October 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Roses of Picardy|url=http://www.firstworldwar.com/audio/rosesofpicardy.htm|publisher=First World War.com|access-date=3 October 2017}}</ref>
