MUSIC VIDEO: Mo Ghille Mear (My Gallant Hero)

Ed. here. While looking for a good recording of "The Green Fields of France" for yesterday's Remembrance Day video, I found this traditional Irish song, sung by the Choral Scholars of University College Dublin. The Gaelic title is "Mo Ghille Mear", which means "My Gallant Hero".

 

The arrangement is by Desmond Earley, with lyrics by Seán Clárach Mac Dómhnaill. The soloist is Mark Waters. Tristan Rosenstock plays the bodhrán on the track, but it's Brian Garvin you see in the visual.

This lovely song is from the album "Invisible Stars – Choral Works from Ireland and Scotland", directed by Desmond Earley.
