cé hé sin amuigh a bhfuil feabhar ar a ghuth
ag réabadh mo dhoras dhúnta?
mise éamon an chnoic atá baillte fuar fliuch
o shiorshiúl sleibhte is gleannta
a lao dhil ’s a chuid, cad a dhéanfainnse dhuit
muna gcuirfinn ort be’inn d’ m’ ghuna
’s go bhfuil púdar go tuibh dhá shiorshéideadh leat
’s go mbeimis araon múchta

is fada mise amuigh faoi sneachta is faoi shioc
gan dánacht agam ar aon neach,
an seireach gan scor an branar gan chur
is gan iad agam ar aon chor.
nil caraid agam, is danaidh liom san
do glacfadh mé moch ná déanach
’s go gcaithfidh mé dul thar farraige soir
ó is ann na fuilanna d’ mo gaoilte

my best effort at a translation :
‘who is that outside hoarse with fever
rapping at my closed door?’
‘i am eamhon an cnoic, wet through and frozen
with long walking over hills and valleys.’
‘oh, poor calf, what a state! what would we do with you
but shelter you under my gown.
the snow lies deep; if the wind blows relentlessly
it will be there muffled about you.’

‘i’ve been a long time outside in snow and ice
with no offence to anyone,
the land uncultivated, no crops sown,
without these things to sustain me.
no friends have i, and companion to be in it with me
to sustain me early and late.
i must go over the western ocean
oh it’s there i’ll find my compatriots.

This is one of six pieces I wrote for a Handfasting on my Isle last year. The Bride's instructions were that she wanted Orchestral/Native American/Celtic/Hare Krishna! This is an Orchestral / Native American piece. The piece opens with a Call to the Spirits of the Forest to gather and bear witness to the Handfasting. As the Couple process through the Forest to the Grove, Native American Drums then introduce the Cherokee Morning Song and I then reprise the Call to the Spirits as the Couple near the Grove. As the Couple enter the Grove the full string orchestra with lead cello and flute play my love theme "Love's all around us".

Handfasting Processional:

I know that orchestral music is not to everyone's taste but I do hope you enjoy this piece. Fortunately the Bride did!

Blessings
Malcolm
