Description

Note from the arranger

Herbert Hughes was the first to publish this beautiful tune in Songs of Uladh (1904). Hughes traced it back to at least 50 years earlier to the middle of the 19th century. He did not include a key or time signature for the piece and the bar lines are irregular, so it doesn’t fit easily into a regular timing. The lyrics concern a fairy-mistress (Leanan-Sidhe) who seduces mortal men before they become her slaves. In Gaelic folklore, the Leanan-Sidhe is a muse who gives inspiration to those she traps.
