Maidean i mBéarra agus dánta eile

This anthology gathers a selection of early‑twentieth‑century Irish poems, many originally printed in modest booklets and later paired with familiar melodies. The verses shift between personal yearning, cultural reflection, and occasional humour, while brief editorial notes hint at their original publication context. Listeners will encounter a blend of lyrical celebration and subtle melancholy that captures the spirit of the era.

Among the highlights is a soaring piece that imagines a lone figure on a hill, listening to bird calls and the wind over cliffs, set to the tune of the Londonderry Air. Another poem, matched with the stirring ‘No Surrender’ melody, confronts loss and resilience through stark natural imagery. The collection’s intimate commentary and musical settings create an atmospheric listening experience for anyone drawn to the texture of early modern Irish poetry.
