Coming soon: piano arrangements
I'm working on a piano accompaniment for voice - it's almost done, so please come back to this page in a couple of days to check on it! I'll be placing the piano part in the keys of F and G.
I'll also have an easy beginner version, placed around Middle C, for young pianists and would-be duet players.

A performance in the original language
Damian McGinty again, singing all in Gaelic, which is the original setting for this song. Very pretty - so peaceful sounding. But what in the world is he saying?
