Saint Abbey's Day
Gobnait's Well | Gobnait's March
Sólás Ón nDólás
Tomhas Ghobnatan | Gobnait's Measure
An Súlán | Crónán Na mBeach | Crónán Na mBeach Jig
Over the course of 10 immersive on-site days, the trio explored the local history and mythology of Gaeltacht Mhúscraí focusing on Baile Mhúirne's beloved goddess and saint Gobnait, and the curse of the "cold, long and masculine" River Sullane that runs through the town. These works, a celebration of local history and folklore, are a fusion of past and present styles of music and music-making, incorporating the Irish language. This new music was created as part of the RESONATE residency by Music Network in conjunction with the Ionad Cultúrtha with support from The Arts Council of Ireland.
RESONATE: Music Network Artist Residencies presented in partnership with glór (Ennis), Ionad Cultúrtha (Baile Mhúirne), National Opera House (Wexford), Triskel Arts Centre (Cork City), The Dock (Carrick-on-Shannon) and Regional Cultural Centre (Letterkenny).
