  • "Kathleen Mavourneen" és una cançó escrita el 1837, amb música composta per Frederick Crouch i lletra d'una Sra. Crawford. El nom propi de Crawford és citat de diverses maneres com ara Annie, Julia, Louise Macartney, Louise Matilda Jane, o Marion. Crouch també és incorrectament esmentat de vegades com l'autor de la lletra de la cançó. Va ser popular durant la Guerra Civil Americana. "Mavourneen" és un terme afectuós derivat del gaèlic irlandès mo mhuirnín, que significa "la meva estimada". La soprano irlandesa Catherine Hayes (1818–1861), la primera dona irlandesa que va cantar a La Scala de Milà, va aprendre "Kathleen Mavourneen" mentre estudiava cant a Dublín. Es va convertir en la seva melodia distintiva durant els seus concerts, i la va cantar per a la reina Victòria i més de 500 convidats reials durant una actuació al Palau de Buckingham el juny de 1849. "Kathleen Mavourneen" va guanyar popularitat entre el públic estatunidenc com a resultat directe de les gires internacionals de concerts de Hayes entre 1851 i 1856. La cançó té un paper destacat a la novel·la històrica de la Guerra Civil americana de Michael Shaara anomenada The Killer Angels i la seva adaptació cinematogràfica Gettysburg. A la novel·la, el general de brigada confederat Lewis A. Armistead recordava un sopar a la casa matrimonial del seu millor amic, el general major de la Unió Winfield Scott Hancock, a la guarnició de l'exèrcit nord-americà a Los Angeles, Califòrnia el 1861 (època en què Armistead era un important i Hancock un capità), quan la cançó es va cantar allí aquella nit. Això va ser la nit abans que Armistead i diversos altres oficials del sud haguessin de marxar cap a la Confederació, després d'haver renunciat a les seves comissions de l'exèrcit nord-americà. Armistead i el general de brigada confederat Richard B. Garnett —que també va estar present al sopar— són assassinats i Hancock és greument ferit quan les brigades d'Armistead i Garnett assalten la posició defensada pel 2n Cos de Hancock al Cementeri Ridge de Gettysburg durant la càrrega de Pickett. A Gettysburg, "Kathleen Mavourneen" és cantada una vegada per un tenor irlandès al campament confederat i després s'utilitza amb freqüència com a tema a la partitura musical de Randy Edelman per a la pel·lícula. Diverses pel·lícules mudes es van titular Kathleen Mavourneen, el primer drama d'aquest tipus es va produir el 1906 protagonitzat per Kitty O'Neil, Walter Griswoll i H.L. Bascomb. Altres pel·lícules mudes d'aquest tipus es van produir el 1911, 1913 i 1919, l'última d'elles protagonitzada per Theda Bara. Es van produir dues pel·lícules sonores amb aquest títol, el 1930 i el 1937. A l'estrena de la pel·lícula de 1919, grups irlandesos i catòlics van protestar no només per la representació d'Irlanda, sinó per l'ús d'una actriu jueva per al paper principal. Fox Film Corporation va retirar la pel·lícula després de diversos disturbis al cinema i amenaces de bomba. (ca)

Crawford's name is variously cited as Annie, Julia, Louise Macartney, Louise Matilda Jane, or Marion; Crouch is also sometimes incorrectly cited as the author of the song's lyrics. It was popular during the American Civil War. "Mavourneen" is a term of endearment derived from the Irish Gaelic mo mhuirnín, meaning "my beloved". The Irish soprano Catherine Hayes (1818–1861)—the first Irish woman to sing at La Scala in Milan—learned "Kathleen Mavourneen" while training in Dublin. It became her signature tune during concerts, and she sang it for Queen Victoria and over 500 royal guests during a performance at Buckingham Palace in June 1849. "Kathleen Mavourneen" gained popularity with American audiences as a direct result of Hayes's international concert tours between 1851 and 1856. The song plays a prominent role in Michael Shaara's American Civil War historical novel The Killer Angels and its film adaptation Gettysburg. Confederate Brigadier General Lewis A. Armistead recalls a dinner at the marital home of his best friend—the now-Union Major General Winfield Scott Hancock—at the U.S. Army garrison in Los Angeles, California in 1861 (at which time Armistead was a major and Hancock a captain), and that the song was sung there that night. This was the night before Armistead and several other Southern officers were to depart for the Confederacy, having resigned their US Army commissions. Armistead and Confederate Brigadier General Richard B. Garnett—who was also present at the dinner—go on to be killed and Hancock to be severely wounded as Armistead's and Garnett's brigades assault the position defended by Hancock's II Corps on Cemetery Ridge in Gettysburg during Pickett's Charge. During Gettysburg, "Kathleen Mavourneen" is sung once by an Irish tenor at the Confederate camp and thereafter is used frequently as a theme in Randy Edelman's musical score for the film. Several silent films were titled Kathleen Mavourneen, the first such drama being produced in 1906 starring Kitty O'Neil, Walter Griswoll and H.L. Bascomb. Other such silent films were produced in 1911, 1913 and 1919, the last of these starring Theda Bara. Two sound films with this title were produced, in 1930 and 1937. At the release of the 1919 film, Irish and Catholic groups protested not only the depiction of Ireland but the use of a Jewish actress for the leading role. Fox Film Corporation pulled the film after several movie-theater riots and bomb threats. The song was sung in an episode of the TV series Maverick featuring Roger Moore as Beau Maverick.
