Karan Casey and Aoife O'Donovan - Song of Wandering Aengus

[hermitwoof2]

She's beautiful and talented, but I wish she would get a decent recording. Most of her youtube stuff I've been listening to really sucks in sound and visual quality.

Very nice, but surely they took the music from In Gowan Ring's version, or both have the same source. In Gowan Ring has a lovely version.

@Lapsanglover The poem with this melody has been recorded by many people, starting essentially with Burl Ives in 1958, who got the melody from others (and it closely follows Yeats' original "chant" melody), so it has been around for a very long time. Also recorded by Judy Collins as "Golden Apples of the Sun" which is here on YouTube; also by Dave van Ronk, Christy Moore, Jean Redpath, Richie Havens among others. Karan recorded it in 1997, it's on her "Songlines" CD.
