Performance of Irish Sean Nós song 'Dónal Óg' (young Daniel) by Tapestries of Sound singer Mahesh Radhakrishnan, dancer Jennifer White, violinist Mirabai Peart with backing vocals by Vanessa Alia Chamas. Sean Nós, which translates as "old style" is a traditional form of Gaelic singing from Ireland which is usually unaccompanied.
Mahesh's notes: I learnt the first verse of this song from a wonderful Sean Nós singer called Treasa Ní Mhuillin (Theresa Millane) when I visited Inis Mór (Aran Islands) in 2007. I chose the second and third verses from a version written in 'The Book of Gaelic' and learnt these with the help of my first Irish teacher Nollaig Leggett. Like many Sean Nós songs there are a number of verses to this song. The song expresses a woman's feelings of sorrow for her love who is going across the sea "théighir thar farraige", her complete love for him in the face of her mother's warnings and her sense of abandonment and loss.
Jeni's dancing is her own choreography following the narrative and the feeling of the song drawing on elements of Bharata Natyam Indian classical dance. Likewise, some of my vocal embellishments draw on my background in Karnatic Indian classical singing. Tapestries of Sound is an eclectic Sydney based band which blends elements of Indian classical, Celtic folk and several shades between. Find out more on www.myspace.com/tapestriesofsound
