'Mhnathan a' ghlinne seo - Women of this glen
The origin of this song is connected to the Massacre of Glencoe, in which a number of MacDonalds were killed by Campbell soldiers, despite the fact the MacDonalds had given the soldiers hospitality for many days and nights beforehand.
On the night before the massacre, a Campbell soldier tried to warn the MacDonalds of their impending doom. He was a piper, and played a particular tune, in the hope that somebody with the gift of "a’ chluas-chiùil" (the musical ear) would hear.
Those with this gift could hear the words behind the tune, when only the tune was being played. Fortunately, one such girl possessed the gift, and as a result, she and her family were saved.
---------------------
Women of this glen, it’s time for you to rise
It is I who rose early, it was you who needed it
They killed the shepherd, who was tending the sheep
The cattle have been stolen, and the men have been slaughtered
Black-haired John, sharp and black, driving the cattle
Women of this glen, it’s time for you to rise

Òran do Bhonapart - A song for Bonaparte Words written around 1815 by James Shaw (1758 - 1828 Bard of Loch Nell), when it was thought that Napoleon Bonaparte might invade the UK - there was talk of mobilising soldiers from all over the UK, including Argyll.

The 'national anthem' of the Isle of Mull, in the Hebrides of Scotland. Words written in the 1840s, sung in Gaelic, sub-titled in English. Neither Linda (Belgian) nor Ian (English) speak Gaelic fluently - our apologies. One of our projects during the Coronavirus lock-down of March-April 2020, hoping to boost the morale of Mull's senior citizens, many of whom are native Gaelic-speakers.
Ties of hope and love - Linda & Ian

We recently heard again two 'a cappella' songs by James Taylor, whose words really seemed to resonate in these strange times, so this is our tribute to key workers everywhere - Bless you XX ! The piece begins and ends with an extract from "Shed a little light" (1991) and includes "That Lonesome Road" (1981, co-written with Don Grolnick). Stay home, stay safe, stay strong.
Scarborough Fair / Canticle (music after 16 secs !)

Our interpretation of the 1966 classic by Simon & Garfunkel (the original ballad goes back until at least the 17th century). This interweaves two quite separate songs into a beautiful whole - ‘Scarborough Fair’ is left of screen, ‘Canticle’ is on the right.

The 800-year old text just glows with simple grace and a sense of wonder, beautifully captured by Morten Lauridsen, a living American composer, who wrote the music in 1994. Whatever you believe in, the Nativity remains a powerful symbol of the miracle of life. Ian adapted the arrangement to enable us to sing it. Many of the finest composers since the 15th century have also set this text to music.

Corfu Variations
มุมมอง 202ปีที่แล้ว
On our first holiday together with Linda in Corfu in 1991, a musical idea around the first 5-note theme emerged which, after returning to Brussels, I worked out as piano variations. 30 years later, I've come back to it and re-arranged it to feature the Cor Anglais. It's simply a love letter to Linda - hope you like it.

Sad, had Eddi's beautiful hair and now I'm gray (had good voice once upon a time, too) -- makes me want both my red hair and voice back; she's really really great!
Lovely to see lyrics to sing along
I always come back to this one. A mesmerising blend of stories, explanations and music that melts the heart.
Part of what’s so brilliant about Julie’s innate talent and gift for music-that many may not realize-is that she finds poems or manuscripts written in Scottish Gaidhlig and composes tunes and melodies around them. And vice versa-she’ll take existing "mouth music" tunes, which may or may not feature actual words, and compose new lyrics and songs with them.
C est magnifique,la réunion de ces personnes,beau projet,belle énergie,j adore.🎻
The pinnacle of performance and joy in performance! Completely wonderful!
I am liking this....
Fantastic singing! I hope more songs like this are kept alive Amhráiníocht ar fheabhas! Tá súil agam go bhfanann na hamhráin seo beo
Beautiful ❤
Amazing beautiful Celtic music!!!
Thank you!!!💙💛
We sang an English version of this at school in Glasgow in the sixties and it came into my head today and I came to look for it. Very pleased to find the original Gaelic!
Amazing! It's the better than best music I have ever listened. They must come to Japan as the missionaries to convert us, the Japanese tribes, from fake music lovers to real ones...
Feels peaceful listening
so basically, an Eddi concert, with guests ?
❤🇧🇷Eddi Reader
Hear Robyn at The Queen's Hall on 25th Jan 25 in a special Burns Night concert
I've been lucky enough to see Julie Fowlis live in concert three times. Like others who've commented , i dont know any Gaelic words, but it doesn't matter. I cant understand why, maybe it's because of my Scottish ancestry. They're all lovely tunes, sung by Julie, she is a modern wonder of music. Julie and her husband, Eamonn, are really nice people, very down to earth and very approachable and modest too.
Who is really buried there is Saint Jeorge descendente of Jesús and his mother
These musicians are genius. It is their soul. How do I say it? It is as though they have known each other a lifetime. Makes my heart laugh. Love the joy in the feet. Unfathomable complex effortless beauty
Hearing them speak is just as lovely as their music. ❤
What a great concert! Thanks so much.
Me encanta este tipo de música.¡Tan elegante y especial!Estoy aprendiendo el Gaélico todos los días pero no puedo entender las canciones.Me encanta escuchar este idioma bello.Amor de Japón

BBC Alba ,Galicia .. BBC Port,. Galicia and Asturias Type any one of those two into the search box on here at TH-cam and you'll see and hear Scottish ,Irish, Galician and Asturian all playing and singing together.
I’d give this a million likes if I could!
Alba is a goldmine !!
What's the name of the first song, please?
It's called 'Robardig' - a song in the Gwerz style - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwerz . Sorry, I don't know Breton to know what it's about (other than the accompanying singer presenters join Annie Ebrel to sing the names of the months of winter). If you like it, you can hear more on the album "Dibenn" on which 'Robardig' is the first song. th-cam.com/video/AVHEUZub1Ew/w-d-xo.html.
Thank you!
so grateful you have uploaded this gorgeousness !!
Cant find the right words which would pay the tribute this performance deserves. Been fascinated with Julie Fowlis ever since I heard her the first time in Denmark touring with Runrig. Beautiful voices beautiful music👏👏👏 Im outa words
It's difficult to say what it's celtic music. Besides, these are Sephardi/Arab tones
as a German I can't understand a word but I feel it....
Four musicians who are genuinely enjoying themselves; it comes out in the music.

I've listened to the entire album on Amazon so many ,many times and never tire of it. Even on a stormy Scottish winter night where I live on the north west coast it makes the wind whisper not roar
Please link? Can't find it!
@@LittleMouseHiding Sent a reply to you earlier on here about the link being blocked .Now I see they've removed the reply too. trying this now ,please reply if you get it. The album is called Allt and its attributed to John McIntyre on there
Grew-up there (Galicia), the first few minutes of bagpipes are fun...then after half an hour you want to slice your veins open, unbearably boring. By the way, Scottish sounds horrible, I guess to pair it well with the food...stay together with the English or is gonna be real pathetic.
Why so angry? Life's hard?
the irish, the scottish are my celtic brothers and sisters i was born in galicia spain i love you all long live the celtic music and culture❤❤❤
Sounds just like Portuguese. My wife and I visited Portugal last year and it's home to a people I came to love. Does this music live in the sense that families or friends commonly make it when they get together or is it the province only of professional musician
An excellent version of the song but the information is wrong. It was not written by Murdo MacLeod but by Murdo Maclean who was my wife's grandfather. He did go to Montana but returned to Scotland to marry and settle in the Black Isle.
Fantastic reply - THANK YOU and my apologies, I see now from the score that it was my mistake in writing down the name. I'm glad to have corrected it in the description and to know that he returned to Scotland. Thanks again !
C'est tellement beau. Merci Julie du fond de mon cœur
Scotland and Ireland - cousin nations, always.
You just wish your parents and grandparents could have enjoyed the benefits of today’s technology!
They look to be sisters.
Beautiful song from 3 iconic voices from the Celtic world.
It's 2024 and lockdown is over. These programs will be used in the future to show how people coped during this time and the resilence of the human spirit. Keep safe everyone. Thank you for programs like this. You kept me sane. R.I.P. All those lost to us during this time.
Three years later and I still have the same question. Did you ever find an answer?
I guess all those who say Eddie Reader is bad prefer Screamo music. Nothing else makes sense.
Ah, the incomparable Eddie Reader. Scotlands treasure. She has brought Burns's songs to so many for over 40 years.
Beautiful! It makes my Heart shine with Happy Tears and Love that’s thousands of years old! The Ancestors still Sing! Heartfelt Thank You and Many Blessings! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
