QUESTION: Thank you for trying again.  I'm not that computer literate, so I just put in the link below
www.greatdanepromilitary.com/life/index.htm
and the first two sites that came up under web resuts were: "greatdanepromilitary.com" and "Life-StumbleUpon." Both sites brought up the pictures and music.
I appreciate you help.
Rosemary

Answer
Rosemary,
 I went to the site and listened.  I'm assuming that you're talking about the "Soldier Boy" song.  Unfortunately, I don't know who composed it, although the arrangement of the music on the site sounds like the Celtic Women group that I've seen on TV.  You might try googling Celtic music and see what you come up with.

 Wish I could be of more help but this music falls outside my expertise (it is not a classical piece).
