Sadhbh Ní Bhruinneallaigh - Sheet Music for Mezzo-Soprano Solo, Mixed Choir, and Bodhrán Desmond Earley

Traditional Irish sean-nós song from the early 19th century, originally attributed to Labhrás Mac Con Raoi, a boatman who sailed the coasts of Mayo and Galway. The song is in Irish language. The singer searches for the beautiful young woman Sadhbh, with whom he wishes to run away. Arranged by Desmond Earley for mixed choir. This arrangement adds harmony to the lower voices to represent the many men who seemed to want to meet this famous beauty. The rhythms of the bodhrán lend vitality to the piece and the excitement of surf and noise.
