The honors choir at my school just performed this song and I resign myself to the fact that they don't breathe... It's harder than it sounds, and it sounds HARD.
But all in all, our performance went pretty well :)
this is based off of traditional celtic songs of the seaweed that farmers used to rake up from the sea to fertilize their crops...it is no overstatement to say that their entire existence depended on "dulaman"
The men from Anuna, in all the performances I've seen on Youtube, all have individual microphones. If you look closely, there are a couple of microphones at the front of the stage to capture Chanticleer's overall sound, but they are outputting much more power to fill this performance hall rather than relying solely on technology.
@bwaybaby022 At their level, if you can't get a full breath in an 8th of a second, you won't be able to keep up. Some of it is staggered because it's not in 10 parts. So, they do somewhat cheat, but no, they can hold a ten measure phrase easily.
@bwaybaby022 It's called stagger breathing. They'll all take small breaths within different parts of the phrases. (I hope that different come off as sarcastic/jackass-ish..)
@iomega88 That's not possible to do while singing: Circular breathing means you only use the air in your mouth to play your instrument whilst you fill your lungs with air by breathing through your nose. The reason circular breathing is not possible while singing is because you have to blow air past your throat into your mouth to sing. When you circularly breathing, you cut the flow of air into your throat from your mouth. Ergo, impossible to circularly breathe while singing. I wish I was wrong!
@fulerguy Also, my first semester working with him, I was so not used to all the stress of performance. By the end of our show, last may, I was so tired I could barely stand up. No joke!
And If you're curious, go ahead and ask him about it!
Also, tell him Daniel (The big guy with the beard) says hello!
@bwaybaby022 They do, it's just a matter of sneaking breaths, and if you listen closely enough you will hear that they do take quick breaths at regular intervals.
@bwaybaby022 I believe they use circular breathing (breathing in excess air and storing it in the cheeks, and then using that air to keep your singing going while actually breathing in at the same time.
I have not done this but I imagine it takes a LOT of practice to do it well.
I believe that the soloist should have had a lighter, less dense voice, if that makes sense. As a result the rest of the chorus had adopted the same heaviness throughout the piece and it doesn't fit the style of the music.
@RLSBRAUN I thought his tone was too dark, something about the key that they are in seems off, almost if he's making them go flat. I prefer the album version, in which Matt Oltman sings a much more pleasing and light solo. Not to say that this soloist is terrible, I just think the other solo is more favorable.
I'm doing the solo for this with my college guys group, which can only hope to be half as good as this, and I swear Gaelic is such a confusing language. Awesome piece though!!!
Nice enunciation of the words. Could have been a little more powerful I think. Maybe the concert hall kinda deadens the sound. Its such an epic song, which is hilarious being how its about sea weed.
I love watching their facial expressions its totally killer. I had some guys sing this in front of me the other day and it was so awesome. I love this song now. Haha
Anúna really performs Dúlamán better. I LOVE Chanticleer, but this performance is too classical for the piece. It's REALLY nicely done, but I prefer the lighter sounds of McGlynn's group for this. Glad it brought some attention to the composer though!
Thames Valley and District School Board in London, Ontario, Canada had all the guys in choirs in secondary school perform this song, it was hard but a rewarding song.
We sang this for chorus- Starrs Mill High School in GA. Chanticleer actually came to our school and held a workshop with us and some other nearby schools. It was AWESOME!!!
These lads are amazing!! I only know of all of the Irish songs within my knowledge from Celtic Woman and as amazing and epic as they make it sound it sound, I'm glad I listen to the originals they're just as good too :)
stop criticizing... lol chanticleer is amazing, and this is one of the most rigorous pieces i have ever heard performed. Also keep in mind that these men are Lithuanian, not American
actually.... Gaelic is a broad term describing ANY of the languages that make up gaelic.... Gaeilge is the Irish language where as Manx is the language from the isle of Man. scotts gaelic is known as Gaidhlig. Irish and scottish gaelic are very similar however gaeilge tends to be more fluid sounding where gaidhlig tends to be harsher and more gutteral.. also the Fadahs over vowels (the little opostrophe looking thingys that denote a LONG vowel sound) face right in irish and left in scotts.
they are such a great group, and don't get me wrong i love the song (mostly be cause it's in curfa)but I find it quite halarious that they are singing about Irish seaweed! :D
Gaelic does not really frefer to a language in Ireland rather to gaelic culture and we only say gaelic if we are speaking in English gaelic culture often refers to other countires too such as scotland:-)
Our language in Ireland is gaelige obviuosly most people speak english in some parts though they still grow up speaking gealige as a first language they are called gaelgoirs:-)
Only if you're willing to say that the people in Berlin speak Deutsch.
This is actually a pet peeve of mine. Our society makes a big deal about "Bejing" instead of Peiking and newscasters have to say South American cities with the correct Spanish pronounciation but we don't make a fuss about European names. There is no city in Russia called "Moscow." There's no city in Austria call Vienna. Heck, we've butchered the name of nearly every city in Italy.
it's plausible that (s)he did 7 generations worth of genealogical research and found out that one of his/her great-great-great-great grandparents wasn't Irish... that'd account for 1.5625% of his/her ethnicity. Then, maybe (s)he rounded for the sake of this post.
I wonder which side of the family capitalizes every word in a sentence? :-P I'd guess the 1.5625% might be German, but that'd only account for the nouns. Who capitalizes verbs anyway?!
I like a good male choral version of anything. I love Anúna's, Celtic Woman's, Clannad's, and Chanticleer's rendition of this song. Perfect performance. Great Job All
seriously?!, wow that version is soooo boring compared to this. you try singing this and you will understand that it is hard but fun and addicting. i sing for the Maryland State Boychoir and my Changed Voice Choir sings this and we love it hopefully there will be a video of us on here singing this to prove you wrong =]
Hmmm. I think I enjoy the recorded version much better, the soloist or whatever sounds a bit off, wavery, unsure, so I don't like it as much. And it feels really really rushed! I like how the recording is bit more lulling.
I began listening to Clannad about 1980. It really wasn't until the early 1990's did the world got their hello to Irish singers. Singers like this have left me stunned at the beauty that emanates from the soul. It's as if our little girl through centuries of oppression has finally begun to sing!!! From an Irish American.
Why? Every Irish band or almost every Irish band sings it and I have at leased 4 versions of it. One by Clannad and one by Altan and Anuna and Celtic Woman. I call it common because everyone sings Dulaman. Dulaman means seaweed right? And men sung it more than women years ago right? I only said this because I heard it over and over. The music might have been written by you but are the words? Correct me please I beg you, I like getting my facts straight. Thanks, (I also like to be polite.)
Sorry - this isn't Michael writing this comment, I just look after the youtube account and the odd time Michael types a comment from his own computer. All I can say is that the text is traditional. This melody is by Michael. Chanticleer are great, and sang this first in around 1996. Anuna are big fans.
i saw them last night... different guys... but they are INCREDIBLE. probably the best singers in the world...the men were singing better soprano than any woman ever could.
I dunno, I've heard my fair share of female sopranos and altos, and I have to say, I prefer the sound of male counters and sopranists. Just a personal preference, though.
it actually varies i think. some songs sound better with male sopranists than with female ones but others do not. i think it would be interesting if a woman ever became a bass lol.
The honors choir at my school just performed this song and I resign myself to the fact that they don't breathe... It's harder than it sounds, and it sounds HARD.
But all in all, our performance went pretty well :)

Why? Every Irish band or almost every Irish band sings it and I have at leased 4 versions of it. One by Clannad and one by Altan and Anuna and Celtic Woman. I call it common because everyone sings Dulaman. Dulaman means seaweed right? And men sung it more than women years ago right? I only said this because I heard it over and over. The music might have been written by you but are the words? Correct me please I beg you, I like getting my facts straight. Thanks, (I also like to be polite.)

Sorry - this isn't Michael writing this comment, I just look after the youtube account and the odd time Michael types a comment from his own computer. All I can say is that the text is traditional. This melody is by Michael. Chanticleer are great, and sang this first in around 1996. Anuna are big fans.

Chanticleer is the United States Top mens vocal group. They are, i believe, the only full time, professional group of their kind in the country.

This is not Anuna and Michael McGlynn never wrote Dulaman. It is a common Irish song. This is a good song sung by whoever I never seen them before.

Great comment, so confident and so inaccurate.

That really is a tough solo to keep on pitch -- so fast and full of consonants!
Great job, Chanticleer. I'm a fan :)

i saw them last night... different guys... but they are INCREDIBLE. probably the best singers in the world...the men were singing better soprano than any woman ever could.

I saw them sometime earlier this year. They are ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!

Really? No woman could ever sing as well as them? That's a closed little mind you've got there. Emphasis on the little.

I dunno, I've heard my fair share of female sopranos and altos, and I have to say, I prefer the sound of male counters and sopranists. Just a personal preference, though.

it actually varies i think. some songs sound better with male sopranists than with female ones but others do not. i think it would be interesting if a woman ever became a bass lol.

I have no problem with a personal preference. Just blunt assertion.

wow
this song is awesome. my choir is singing this and i listen to this all the time.
wow
truly amazing
and by the way, it is Gaelic. And, unfortunately, its about seaweed. I know its sorta anticlimactic, but yes, its about seaweed.

The Seaweed is a metaphor. Most "Gaelic" aka Irish songs are written in Metaphor.

He is a man of many talents. Genocide in the morning, a little light opera in the afternoon. I don't know how he found the time.
