The text was written by the composer as an homage to traditional Irish love ballads. The soloist for this piece sings the English text and should have a light and lilting vocal quality, and the style of violin playing should have the feel of traditional Irish or Scottish music. The chorus sings the Gaelic text, for which a pronunciation guide is provided. Duration: 5:30.
