Arno Kilhoffer - Brian Boru's March (featuring Marina Lys)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2022
- “Brian Boru's March" is a traditional Irish tune about the High King of Ireland. Brian Boru died in the Battle of Clontarf in which his army defeated the Vikings. This tune was originally a slow air but is now usually played as a faster march.
This however is my take on Brian Boru’s March and accompanied by the very talented Marina Lys, whom I thank very much for sharing this experience with me.

How I came across this masterpiece I don’t know….but I’m overjoyed to hear it. 💚
Thank you so much 😊
Same over here in the Netherlands 😊.
Popped up in my suggestions today.
This is brilliant 🌟
Thank you very much ! Cheers from Ireland 😊
Sometimes the algorithm pays off! Wonderful stuff! 😊
And South Africa .. this one is a keeper❤
I played this tune for a rapper kid in the park one day. He was astonished to learn how old this piece was. I like to think we each walked away with an appreciation for each other’s art.
That is a nice story ❤️ I love that it still exists some of the "modern" artistic generation that are still amazed by what was accomplished in the past !
Great job! Just one historical point: Brian Mac Ceinnedigh (aka Brian Boru) was the king of Munster, and he was not fighting against Vikings per se. The Battle of Clontarf was a contest to see who would be the High King of Ireland (I did research on this as an undergraduate student). Brian was fighting against the King of Leinster, who happened to have a lot of Norse allies fighting for him (from Norway, Shetlands, Orkneys, the Norse city of Dublin, etc.). But Brian also had Norse and Norse-Irish warriors from Limerick fighting on his side, and he wasn't about to deport his own men. Brian/Munster won the battle, but he was assassinated shortly thereafter; so he never got to be High King, alas...
Wrong. "Brian Boru" was High King of Ireland between 1002 to 1014, a position gained after subjugating and securing allegiance from the "kings" of Leinster, Ulster and Connacht. In the Book of Armagh, Boru is also referred to as "Imperator Scotorum", or "Emperor of Ireland".
@@gerardodwyer5908 Boru literally had his own scribe write that in the book of Armagh (after dumping piles of gold on the altar) In a vain attempt to make it seem like he was in charge of all the places of Gaelic influence outside of Ireland (which he wasn't).
He wasn't a true "High king" for two years, he was barely high king (i.e every kingdom) for a wet weekend. As soon as he last two kingdoms to hold out against him (Both Uí Neill iirc) "Submitted", he was barely over the horizon when they openly revolted against him. Granted, he was the only person up to that point to ever get that powerful, but he didn't hold a true high kingship for very long
@@bfc3057 Great contribution.
I have this on a CD, played on a wire strung harp (giving more of a twang to the sound). Every time I hear this simple master piece I see in my mind's eye a troop of warriors emerging out of the mist on a mountain pass, following their Chieftain, slowly disappearing, back into the mist in the distance, going perhaps to great victory, or perhaps death. Ever the soldier's lot.
Many thanks for this beautiful rendition of King Brian Boru's march, my O'Neill
ancestors would be grateful too.
Thank you very much 🎶😊
How does this not have more views!?
Because we're simple musicians and know nothing of online promotion 😅 But thank you so much for the sentiment and for watching 😊
Wow. That harp-viol-thingy looks like it could double as a crossbow machine gun. Pretty impressive...as is, of course, the music as well.
découvert au hasard , good vib and perfect instrumental ........... from auvergne
Merci beaucoup 😊
Stirred my Celtic ancestors.❤
Maybe so given your Norman name. The Keltoi never made it to Ireland. That's just Yeatsian era myth. Gaelic Ireland's rulers, tracing their family lineage to the Iberian Peninsula, never identified as "Keltic". As evidence, check out the National History Museum. There isn't a single "Celtic" section, but there is a substantial Gaelic one.
Go hálainn 😍🥰
Go raibh míle !!! 😊
Beautiful rendition. Slow suits it better as he died in battle.
Thank you very much 😊 ! There are many theories about his death, but the most common one is that he was killed by a viking while he was praying in his tent
He died "battle-adjacent". He did not participate, but prayed in his tent for victory.
Hypnotically beautiful.
Thank you very much 😊
This is a beautiful rendition of this music. Well done!
Thank you so much 🎶😊
Epic
Interessante Instrumente! Alles zusammen , die Musik,der Gesang und die Aufnahmen dazu, einfach wunderschön anzuhören/sehen!❤️

bravo, très bien fait. Tout en douceur, je connaissais la version d' Alan Stivell sur l' album Brian Boru qui est plus rythmée
Merci beaucoup 😊
Maravillosa🙋♀️👍🏻👍🏻
Muchas gracias 😊
Poderosa y bonita música ❤
Muchas gracias 😊
There's a small bit of irony in the Brian Boru march being played in part of a Norse musical instrument. Beautifully played, and the slower pace is well chosen.
Thank you very much 🎶😊
He had plenty of Norse fighting for him, in fact he was overlord of a number of them
@theeddorian
One correction, that 's not a northern lyre which is very different. This is a gauloise lyre, originating in in France around 100 bc. They are very very similar to Greek lyre and were probably brought to France by Greek settlers. So the irony is a fairlly modern Irish tune being played on an ancient French instrument.
@@Grendelcynn I think he/she meant the nyckelharpa 😄
Haunting melody supported with fantastic videography! Bravo!!!
Thank you so much 😊🎶
Beautiful music and a beautiful video. Very professional.
Thank you so much ! 🎶😊
Great work! 👍
Thank you so much 😊🎶
J'AIME BEAUCOUP BRAVO SSSSSS
Merci beaucoup 😊🎶
Magnifique découverte, merci beaucoup. L’alliance des instruments est très complémentaire et le résultat remarquable
Merci beaucoup 🎶😊
Thank you for this beautiful version. BTW, my brother Brian's name was inspired by the High King.
Thank you for watching and listening to it :):)
adoro😀
Muito obrigado 😊
A magically atmospheric and hauntingly delicious reinterpretation of Brian Boru's (Briaín Bóruma mac Cennétíg) March.
Go raibh míle !!! 🎶😊
❤️✌️❤️
🙏❤️🙏
Allright ! Now you got my sword ! Great stuff cheers
haha thank you 😋
Thumbs up 😘
Thank you so much 🎶😊
The Danes came to Ireland with nothing to do, but dream of the plundered old Irish they slew. You will in your Vikings said BRIAN BORU then he threw them back into the ocean..
And got killed as they left
Very nice. Good music and good video. What is the violin like instrument ?
Thank you so much! 😊 The instrument is called a nyckelharpa, of swedish origins.
@@arnokilhoffer it's a four row nyckelharpa, so chances are that this particular instrument wasn't built in Sweden but maybe in France?
Also, Marina is using the "Belgian" bow hold, with her arm under instead of over the tailpiece.
And it's probably tuned CGDA instead of traditionally Swedish CGCA. A herecy for Swedish traditionalists! 😀
👏🍺☘️🍺🤙
Sehr schönes Video! Nyckelharpa ist so ein tolles Instrument! Darf ich fragen woher du die Lyre hast?
Vielen dank 😊!! The lyre was made by Atelier Skald in France. You can find a link to their facebook page in the description of the video. Highly recommend, their instruments are really exceptionnal !
@@arnokilhoffer thx!😊
Brian Boru - a true King and legend of Ireland, beware of modern day Unionist revisionism. The grass is deep and the snakes are many.
Excellent. What instrument are you playing?
Thank you so much 🎶😊 All the info can be found in the description of the video 😉
Habt Ihr Lust aufs "Ohne Watt Festival 2024" an der Ostsee im Klützer Winkel zu kommen?
Thank you for the message ! Please go to www.fiannaban.com and send us a email and we would be delighted to start a conversation 😊
Love the feel of this rendition, there is one thing that kind of jarring though. The I feel the Nyckelharpa is a bit too hectic maybe? Don't get me wrong, I love the instrument in general, and it is well played, but it just did not fit the rest of the song. Love the calmness of the drum, simple plucking of the lyre, soothing flute and the contrast in the deep throat-singing (kargyraa) and woman voice!
Subscribed for more though! I'm going to check out Marina Lys as well! Can't have enough folk music in my feed ;)
Thank you for your kind words and constructive criticism 😊 I still stand by the nyckelharpa in our version but I do understand how one can feel it is a bit too hectic. The major rule in art is that you have to know you can't please everyone... but nonetheless I do highly appreciate your feedback! And thank you for subscribing, I'll hopefully have some more stuff out soon 😉
@@arnokilhoffer Yeah, totally understandable, and I am no musician so what do I know xD I do know art in animation, so I know how everyone has an opinion. I'm glad you take it constructive, and just from a random dude at youtube, and not as a harsh criticism. Looking forward to hearing more stuff ;)
Hahaha well it was well written and not just a "this is crap" comment 😄 You have to be able to take criticism if you're gonna put out your stuff for the public to see, as long as it's constructive 😄 so thank you again !
All the sadness in the world.
Oops, I meant Very well done ALL of you.
😝😝 thank you so much 😊
Salut Arno! :)
Superbe interprétation! Est-ce que tu peux partager la tablature à la lyre? J'essaye de la jouer à la lyre de Kravik (accordée en ACDEFGa), mais je peine un peu.
J'ai trouvé (je crois), pour l'instant, ceci:
aGFEDD aGFEDD GFEDCC GFEDCC aGFEDD aGFEDD DDEFaGFEDCD
DDEFa DFa DFa GEC DFa DFa DFa GEC DFa DFa DFa (làje crois que c'est des dièses ou bémols plutôt)
Merci beaucoup de ton aide :) Je n'ai pas fait de solfège.
Merci beaucoup 😊 Je t'invite à aller visiter la page FB de la lyre académie (le lien est dans la description de la vidéo). La tablature est disponible dans le volume 1 de leur méthodes 😉 Les méthodes sont spécifiques à la lyre (kravik incluse) et pas besoin de solfège pour les déchiffrer. Je recommande vivement.
@@arnokilhoffer Merci beaucoup! :)

A few seconds of that video and I feel the urge to get stoned and make a human sacrifice to - oh, some real cool nature deity.
Ahahaha you do you, buddy 😄
Not gonna lie, the thumbnail on the front page made me think she was holding a rail gun or something.
Damn ... that would've been funny 😄
That's why I clicked on it .....
It doesn't get more German than that.
I expected some voices, deep males and high females, melting in a dance.
There are voices 😊
To loud drum it should not dominate !
It's a March hence the incesant drumbeat.
The Chieftans Was Better
Chieftains* 😉
Absolutely true. We all need a ChiefTan. Twice a year recommended.
