Caim Chaluim Chille chaoimh (The encompassing of Columba the kindly)
Julie Fowlis, Éamon Doorley, Zoë Conway and John McIntyre have come together at the invitation of the Royal Irish Academy’s Committee for Irish Language, Literature and Celtic Cultures to create a truly memorable new piece of music to celebrate Colm Cille 1500. The commission was enabled by the kind assistance of the Department of Foreign Affairs. Their piece is based on a text from Alexander Carmichael’s Carmina Gadelica, a multi-volume collection of Gaelic prayers, incantations, charms and songs collected in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland over one hundred years ago. The musicians have also woven into the text some words from a blessing from the Middle-Irish period. Their composition bridges the Sea of Moyle and generations of tradition in a contemporary and layered arrangement using voices, guitar, bouzouki, violin and oboe to commemorate the remarkable Columba - a man who left an indelible mark on the life, literature and landscape of both Ireland and Scotland.
In the video they have made to accompany their composition, the four musicians and singers have invited artist Ellis O’Connor to respond in paint, inspired by the music they have created. It is an enchanting experience.

Tá na ceoltóirí céimiúla Julie Fowlis, Éamon Doorley, Zoë Conway agus John McIntyre i ndiaidh píosa úrnua spreagúil ceoil a chumadh mar fhreagra ar chuireadh ó Choiste Léann na Gaeilge, Litríocht na Gaeilge agus na gCultúr Ceilteach in Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann chun Colm Cille 1500 a chomóradh. Is le cabhair ó Roinn Gnóthaí Eachtracha na hÉireann a rinneadh an coimisiún seo. Tá an píosa seo cumadóireachta bunaithe ar théacs ón bhailiúchán il-imleabhair le Alexander Carmichael Carmina Gadelica a chuimsíonn orthaí, amhráin, paidreacha agus beannachtaí a bailíodh i nGaeltacht na hAlban corradh agus céad bliain ó shin. Tá curtha leis an téacs ag na ceoltóirí trí ábhar ó phaidir Mheán-Ghaeilge a fhí tríd. Tá an dá thaobh de Shruth na Maoile tugtha leo acu agus dúchas na gcianta mar an gcéanna chun cóiriú comhaimseartha agus ilghnéitheach a dhéanamh agus feidhm á baint as guthanna, giotár, bouzouki, veidhlín agus óbó. Is ceiliúradh fónta é seo ar an fhear eaglasta a d’fhág an oiread sin anála ar shaol, ar shaíocht agus ar thírdhreach na hÉireann agus na hAlban araon.
San fhíseán a d’ullmhaigh na ceoltóirí mar léiriú ar an saothar ceoil, d’iarr siad ar an ealaíontóir Ellis O’Connor géilleadh don inspioráid a chothaigh an ceol nuachumtha seo agus dul i mbun peintéireachta dá réir. Is álainn agus is draíochtúil an comhdhéanamh é.

Òran an Ròin / The Song of the Seal

A traditional Gaelic song from the voice of the seal people or selkies. Creatures who were said to shed their seal skin and take on the human form at certain times of the year. Creatures who moved between the parallel worlds of sea and land, but never truly belonging to either. I learned this from the singing of the Rev William Matheson of North Uist/Edinburgh. Sharing today this stunning piece...

    Cain and Abel. The burden of the first born, the creativity of the second born. The tiller of the fields, the shephard. The double face of Janus, looking up to the parents, looking down at the other siblings. Under the auspices of the first born the second born can take flight. A third can rebel. Through the long years we have lived our love has deepened. This song is a treasure.

    Julie’s comment in an interview for this album, where she talked about music and language being connected to the land of a people really deeply struck me. It made me realize the loss of self-understanding and heritage that unguided modernism and “change” brings to the world. Some of the most meaningful and beautiful music is that I’d ethnic sounds which has had centuries of history and stories as is foundation.

    I see all the love for Scottish Gaelic hear and its not hard to understand the love. I remember listening to my Uncle Fergus speak English in his heavy Gaelic accent, and I could hardly understand. My Aunt Annie would translate his English for me, but I loved them both and have tried to learn some language over the years. To Julie and others keeping this alive...tapadh leibh!
