In this first session (of two), for voice and harp, Eibhlís will guide you through the manuscript, and printed, sources of the lively song – one of the very oldest surviving Irish songs with roots in ancient seasonal ritual – a song from the Bunting collection that is also in the living song tradition in Ireland.
Then, using the Irish-language lyrics, you will learn to pronounce and sing the words, and we will work on breathing, phrasing, intonation and ornamentation.
