Irish Music

What does the well-known hymn Be Thou My Vision have to do with St. Patrick? Well, the lyrics are set to an Irish folk tune named Slane, after the Hill of Slane in Co Meath, where St. Patrick lit the first Paschal fire, a symbol of the resurrection, in defiance the pagan High King Laoghaire. The English lyrics are a translation of an Old Irish poem from the 6th century, 'Rop tú mo baile' Happy St. Patrick's Day to all who celebrate ☘️💚 #Irishmusic #musicstr #stpatricksday

Another good'un from Dolores 📝 8271e8c7…

I'm saddened to hear of the passing of Dolores Keane today. She had one of the most beautiful voices in Irish music and will be dearly missed. 📝 892f39e8…

There's naught but care on every hand In every hour that passes, oh What signifies the life of man If it were not for the lassies, oh Green grow the rushes, oh Green grow the rushes, oh The sweetest hours that e'er I spent Are spent among the lassies, oh 💚🎶 #musicstr #HappyWomensDay
