Anúna - Dúlamán [Celtic Origins, Trinity Cathedral 2007]

Where can you learn this language?

In Ireland.

@brezairola Very funny...

musiclovinggurl123, that's actually not completely true. To some extent, yes, if they are fluent in the language, it makes it easier, but not by much. One, this song starts out in the time signature and switches rapidly to 6/8, 10/8, 11/8, and back WITHOUT PAUSE. And Gaelach is one of the hardest languages to pronounce. To do a song with this incredible speed and get every note right without being conducted at all is extremely impressing. The speed is impressing, given everything I just listed.

It's just amazing, I can't even speak that fast in my native language lol. wouldn't even want to think about doing it in Gaelach

I would think that singing the language would be much easier than speaking. Singing flows much easier than simply speaking. Plus, I'm sure they practiced for months. :)

Destroyed it!

Thank you! We are always delighted to destroy a piece. By "it" I assume you mean the song. which was written specifically for us by Michael McGlynn. Oh, that means we destroyed the piece written for us specifically. Yes. That makes sense. Thanks again.

For a start, it's way too fast. I speak Irish Gaelic and the speed at which it is sung takes away from the lyrics. I do not mean to offend you but this is just my opinion, obviously there are alot of other people who enjoy it. I have grown up with the Clannad version, so maybe that's why I find it strange. I do not understand what you meant when you said Dulaman was written specifically for you, wasn't it written in the late 70s by Clannad?

The text is traditional. What you should have written is that "You destroyed the text...in my opinion". Otherwise, yawn.
