I just tuned in late this evening on a PBS special with Andre Rieu “The Flying Dutchmen” and missed the name of the number. It featured a male playing a small wind instrument and 3 female singers. It was a very moving number, and in one pan of the audience a lady was crying. Questions:

1. What is the name of the song?
2. What is the name of that small wind instrument?

Your profile says you were still active here just a few months ago, so…

Is this it? If so, then:

1. “The Last Rose of Summer,” by Thomas Moore
2. tin whistle
