Of Love and Lamentation - BEMF Fringe Concert
Beacon Hill Friends House, 6 Chestnut Street, Boston, MA
Love and loss through the eyes of the great clan poets: Sìleas na Ceapaich, Mary MacLeod and more. Sung in Scottish Gaelic and Irish, these rarely heard elegies and love songs naturally blend with the melting sound of the early Gaelic wire-harp. Selected tunes of the great harper-bards (Ruaraidh Dall, Thomas Connellan, Turlough O’Carolan) evoke the haunting poeticism of the Gaelic world.
