It's actually the Irish Language. The Celtic language covers the Scottish Language as well..which is slightly different. The drum that is being played is known as a Bodhrán ( used to be made from goat skin). The drum is mostly played with Irish Traditional dance music. The person that popularized this old song was a man called Seán Ó Riada back in the 50's.
If you ever visit Ireland and an Irish Pub Session be sure and learn a verse plus chorus of the above...you'll have the whole crowd in the pub singing with you... Absolutely brilliant song..🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪
Your reactions are great. And I love how much Irish stuff you react to. We have a very rich artistic culture and love when people from other countries react positively to it. Thanks.
This was my dad's favourite song. He died of cancer 26 days after daognosis. We live in Ireland and speak Irish, this song played when his coffin was carried out of the church. It will always make me cry xx😢
It's 'Gaelige'.. Irish... the song is an Irish lament for the defeat of the Highland's attempt by Bonnie Prince Charlie ( Charles Edward Stewart ) to free themselve's from the sassenach.
Long been a fan of UCD choral scholars, especially this particular group of classmates. The arrangements by their director Desmond Earley are quite special. Try also ‘Orphan Girl’ and Parting Glass by this same group.
Mo Ghile Mear aka My Gallant Hero is a jacobite love song that's also political. It's mainly about saying goodbye to their hero during the jacobite rising against protestant England's rule in 1745. I've done a bad job explaining it but hope this helped 🙂
Wonderful rendition. I am so happy that this has touched your soul. I hardly know where to begin. Here in Cork I lead this song often. It is about Ireland (the widow), in which she has appeared in the form of a beautiful but tragic woman, to the poet in an ‘ashling’ or ‘dream vision’ … it is about ‘Bonnie Prince Charlie', the legal heir of the throne. To this day we sing this in the places where Irish is still spoken.
I loved the Choral Scholars rendition when I first heard it. Mo Ghille Mear must be kind of a 'standard' in Ireland. It seems to be sung at sporting events, too. I also love this rendition on one of the wonderful "Highland Sessions" videos. I'm posting it here, not for you to react to, but just to enjoy the beauty: ruclips.net/video/5Ojy1W6r8L0/видео.html
This is called Celtic it is an Irish language before the English language please look it up this is the oldest language in the world told to ensue. Celtic.XXOO.

So the male signer at the start is my boy Mark Waters 🙌
he plays music after our rugby games in ireland 🇮🇪
Wow, that's fantastic. The song has hidden meaning for my Yank-American family I can't get into here. You should be proud.
The BODHRAN is my favourite instrument to play especially when you get a good jig going

There are a lot more Celtic languages than just Irish and Scottish.
@j.d.4697 There are six that are still spoken today; Irish, Manx, Scottish Gaelic, Breton, Cornish, and Welsh
This is one awesome choir

This is often sung as a funeral song

The bohdran has a large place in my mind and heart. I've known the sound since I was a boy in the blueridge mountains.
Don't understand what they're singing about, but music is a universal language: loved the sound of this. :)

@@Kreacher97 Interesting. Also nice to see such songs still being sung today. I quite like history. I may have to read up on this. :)
@@Kreacher97I thought is was a lament wrote after the defeat of the Bonnie Prince Charles at the Battle of Culloden of 1746?
@@ronaldraygun5324 I have heard that as well, I just went with the one I was told which I assumed was correct
@@Kreacher97If you go to Muireann Ní Amh
This was stunning and moving.
Close your eyes and listen to this song will have your mind wandering hear their and every where. 🇮🇪

They have a wonderful rendition of the Skye Boat Song. Recommend highly! Thanks!

the drum is an bodhran, pronounced as boghran.
You seem to be one of us
Dynamite reaction brother, haunting ain't it, real celtic stuff.
Damn this is the song I meant to suggest the other day but used the wrong title...
Celtic Thunder does an English version
Listen to Una Palliser version. Rather wonderful.

Irish is the oldest written language in Europe and Basque is the oldest spoken language but its probably older than English
