about

The story of Bríde burying her daughter was read and retold by Séan Ó Coileain, then head of the Modern Irish Studies Department at University College Cork, and is taken from Peig, the autobiography of Peig Sayers of the Great Blasket Island, translated into English by Bryan MacMahon, Syracuse University Press,1974, pp.198-200. The original was published in Irish as Peig .i. a scéal féin, edited by Máire Ní Chinnéide, Clólucht an Talbóidigh,Tta.,Baile Atha Cliath, 1936, pp.234-236. The recording was made at Mr. Ó Coileain’s offices, January 2006.

In 1953, Alan Lomax recorded the great folk singer Margaret Barry (1917-1990) singing a ‘keen’, or traditional lament. An extract from I Sang Through the Fairs, Keening, Diddling, and Lullabies, is presented courtesy of Rounder Records.

Breda Maycock, recorded three keening songs, Una Bhan, Open Keen, Soft Keen, for this piece. Recorded in Dublin, 2007.
