May Day 3

The third part of the May Day folk opera is the Haymarket event itself. This has been documented so many times that I neglected to write words to describe it.
One of the better sources for the whole story surrounding this is Paul Avrich's 'The Haymarket Tragedy'.
Brien Seyle wrote the tune.
I've re-used it as the "hanging theme" in our next work when Roger Casement is put to death by the British government.
