Marijan`s specialities are very authentical compositions as mixed Medieval/Renaissance and Celtic styles with Rockelements. <br />
I was 10 years young when I got my first guitar. Since this time I play autodidactly this wonderful instrument tune by tune.

Lyrics
Star of the County Down ©2006 by Marijan P. Horvat Words and Music Irish Traditional Arranged by Marijan Canto by Marijan Near Banbridge town, in the County Down One morning in July Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen And she smiled as she passed me by. She looked so sweet from her two white feet To the sheen of her nut-brown hair Such a coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself To make sure I was standing there Chorus From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay And from Galway to Dublin town No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen That I met in the County Down As she onward sped I shook my head And I gazed with a feeling rare And I said, says I, to a passerby "who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?" He smiled at me, and with pride says he, "That's the gem of Ireland's crown. She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann She`s the star of the County Down Chorus At the crossroads fair I'll be surely there And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes And I'll try sheep's eyes, and deludhering lies On the heart of the nut-brown rose. No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke Though with rust my plow turns brown Till a smiling bride by my own fireside Sits the star of the County Down Chorus 2x
