about

Ortha an Leona/A Charm For an Injury, a traditional folk charm, read by Michael Ó Malley, Clifden, Galway, June 2007. The poem is from the collection, An Duanaire 1600-1900, Poems of the Dispossessed, edited and translated by Seán Ó Tuama and Thomas Kinsella, and published by Foras na Gaelige, 1981.

Gentle Ochon, sung by Breda Maycock, recorded in Dublin, 2007. Ms. Maycock improvised and recorded a number of keens for this piece, an important reenactment of the keening tradition, which, though based on conventions, was often improvised by skilled practitioners of the art.

Water Rhythm, a heartbeat-sound is made of the sound of water hitting a rock on the shore near Doolin, Ireland.

lyrics

Ortha an Leona

Do chuaigh Críost ar an gcreig
do leonadh cos eich;
chuir sé fuil le fuil
feoil le feoil,
cnámh le cnámh.
Mar shlánaigh sé sin
Go slánaí sé seo.
Amen.

A Charm For an Injury

Christ walked in a rocky place.
A steed’s foot was hurt.
He put blood to blood
flesh to flesh
bone to bone.
As He healed that
may He heal this.
Amen.
