Description

Note from the arranger

This beautiful Christmas carol is believed to have been composed by the late Seán Óg Ó Tuama from County Cork (although he himself stated the tune was a traditional melody), based on a poem by Aodh Mac Aingil O Cathmhaoil (1571–1626). It appeared in a book of songs edited by Ó Tuama in the 1950s, An Chóisir Cheoil. This arrangement was commissioned in 2020 by Cruit Éireann, Harp Ireland, the resource organization committed to developing and promoting the harp in Ireland.
