#Si Bheag Si Mhor

Richard Thompson: BBC Four Session - ...Goodbye Television Centre. Part of Goodbye to Television Centre. Guitarist, singer and songwriter Richard Thompson plays a concert filmed in BBC TV Centre. This was broadcast on BBC Four on 22 March 2013.

137 Comments "Considering everything Swarb had been through by this point it's unbeleivable that he could still play at all, let alone make the violin almost burst into flames. This is a great testament to him and also the great musicianship of RT. It's hard to imagine the likes of these guys happening again. I was lucky enough to see Swarb quite a number of times with Martin Carthy, Fairports and Whippersnapper. Going back and listening to his early work with Ian Campbell shows that like the young RT, in early Fairports days - these guys were just brilliant from the outset."

Si Bheag Si Mhor harp guitar arr. Muriel Anderson

(M.A.) arranged this old Irish O'Carolan tune for the Harp Guitar Gathering. Played on an Emerald harp guitar, made in Ireland, with Brunner super-trebles. You can check out what's happening now at murielanderson.com/now

This song was written by Turlough O'Carolan, an Irish harper, composer and singer in the late 1600's. O'Carolan's music is very popular in Ireland and is ingrained in Irish Traditional Music.

Round 2 — Talent Show

Contestant: Tomi Chōten

Division: Aoyama

"Urgh, this is exactly why I didn't want to enter this inane and foolish competition in the first place. Because I knew the people running it wouldn't understand true professionalism and talent when they see it. Bah, whatever. Perhaps you peons will understand me more after this round. You could all do with some classical influence in your lives so I shall indulge you. I'll be performing Si Bheag Si Mhor on violin. This was one of the first pieces I was forced to learn, and it's my favorite, not the least because Miho-san likes it. So, enjoy."

I WANT YOUR FEEDBACK

What are you doing today while listening to the podcast? Please email me. I’d love to see a  picture of what you're doing while listening or of a band that you saw recently.

Email me at follow@bestcelticmusic.

Patrick Rieger emailed some photos: "Hi Marc, I feel like I have been slacking this summer sending you pictures after having sent so many.

Celtic Pittsburgh hasn't been doing much the past few months though we do have plans in the works for an event in October. Meanwhile, the renaissance festival season for my family and I started when we attended the Great Lakes Medieval faire the weekend of July 27 and 28. It was a great weekend, and we needed time away from the daily routine. With life so busy for everyone we hardly see friends anymore, and this was a chance to see many of them. We were happy to find that our friend Captain John Stout, aka Richard Brentar, has returned to Great Lakes after having been absent for a few years. I'm not sure what I enjoy more, his music or his stories, he always has lots of great stories to tell.

We also saw the Jackdaws, Celtic Mayhem, and Michael Manderen. Sadly we didn't make the shows of Menagerie Music this year but we did manage to catch up with Lisa from that duo.

My family and I plus a couple of friends went to see John McCann and Hamish at Mullaney's Harp & Fiddle in Pittsburgh on August 3. These two are a lot of fun and have great energy, and get the place jumping. I have seen them for 15 years, starting when they were part of the Corned Beef & Curry Band. Sadly that band broke up when one of the three decided to explore other musical paths.

I'll be sending more pictures of Celtic musicians come September after trips to two more ren faires.  Until then, slainte!"

Cheryl Arvio emailed some photos: "Hi Marc, Sorry these photos aren't better, but this is Socks in the Frying Pan from Friday night's show at the Irish American Heritage Center in Chicago. Brilliant, as they always are! Bummed that they are not playing Milwaukee Irish Fest this year, but happy we got to see them (and pick up their new CD) in our hometown. Best,"

Si Bheag Si Mhor- February 2021

30 years of songs - age 6

Naya’s Song - Joemy Wilson

As I’ve already said, we listened to a lot of folk/traditional music growing up. When I was little my parents started taking my sister and me to the local traditional music club. I have the best memories of sitting on the floor coloring while listening to the most marvelous music, from Celtic trad to mountain music all the way to Woody Guthrie and Oklahoma folk. There were workshops for a myriad of folk instruments, the “playaround” where people could sign up to share a piece of music with everyone and practice their performing skills, and jam sessions that went late into the night. We went there for years and some of my most cherished memories are there.

I particularly remember one beautiful spring day when the redbuds were all blooming. The local band Nonesuch was having a concert outside, and I remember staring up in awe at the hammered dulcimer player, Jacque, as she wove the most beautiful tapestry of joyful music with her little hammers, as beautiful as birdsong and the wind dancing in the blooming trees. 

Eventually Jacque taught my mom, and later me, how to play the hammered dulcimer too.

I’d heard the sweet sounds of the dulcimer for years; Joemy Wilson’s Dulcimer Lullabies album, along with other wonderful hammered dulcimer players such as John McCutcheon and Tony Elman, were constants in our house. This was my favorite tune by Joemy Wilson; it used to make me cry because it was so beautiful. Later I learned to play it too.

Honorable mention: Si Bheag Si Mhor, played by Tony Elman. This Turlough O’Carolan tune is one of my favorites. It (albeit played by a different artist) featured in the movie version of The Ugly Duckling I grew up with, the one narrated by Cher (the best version!). We also had a gorgeous picture book of The Ugly Duckling, and that story captured my heart like no other when I was little. It was yet another thing that would always make me cry because it was so heart-achingly beautiful.

13 for carry on baz and amo? :D

[copy/paste obligatory rant about tumblr not notifying me about this message, etc]

Because of see re: above, I’m not entirely sure which quiz meme this is supposed to be for!? But I’m going to answer it for the latest one, which is this one. 

13: What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?

Obviously both Carry On, Baz and AMO are still in progress... let’s see. 

I have a Simon Snow playlist which is mostly just songs I like, plus some I saw on Rainbow’s Simon Snow themed Spotify lists that I liked, plus some from Snowbaz themed playlists made for me by the invaluable @damecatoe.

Here are some of the main ones I associate with writing Snowbaz fic:

Get Up by Caitlyn Canty

The Driver by Bastille

Bloodsport by Raleigh Ritchie

Flaws (Acoustic) by Bastille

Bite by Troye Sivan

Carry On by FUN

Si Bheag, Si Mhor · Planxty Planxty ℗ 2005 Shanachie Released on: 1973-01-01

Writer: Planxty (by Turlough O'Carolan-arrangement by Planxty)

Sí bheag, sí mhór by Turlough O'Carolan

yranslates as ‘The Little Fairy Hill and the Big Fairy Hill’.

Ry Cooder & David Lindley playing Turlough O'Carolan's "Si Bheag, Si Mhor" at the Vienna Opera House on July 6, 1995.

Si (Shee) is a fairy, but now what people usually think of as cute little faires with wings. The title refers to a battle between two fairy forts, or hills. This song, and nearly everything I see related to it sounds like Give Me Your Hand to me.

From the Album CLOSE TO THE WIND 1984- a classic instrumental wery well performed By SWARB & SIMON plus other FAIRPORT CONVENTION FRIENDS.

8:21 GREAT version!

Simon Nicol - Acoustic Guitar

Dave Swarbrick - Violin

Dave Pegg - Electric Bass

John McGrath — Wake and Whisper (Crooked Stem Recordings)

Wake and Whisper by John McGrath

Wake and Whisper is the first full-length recording by John McGrath, an Irish-born, London-based acoustic guitarist. To call it full-length is a bit of a stretch, since it lasts just 27 minutes. But behind its modest dimensions lies significant ambition and accomplishment.

McGrath has made just one other record, a four-song EP of acoustic guitar music released in 2013 that was enlivened by Michael Hedges-level body-slapping and seasoned with Fennesz-like digital processing. He is similarly unafraid to show his influences on Wake and Whisper. The album presents McGrath in three formats — solo finger-picker, composer/orchestrator and singer-songwriter. In solo mode, he makes no bones about being influenced by both American Primitive and Irish traditional music. The one tune that he did not write, “Si Bheag Si Mhor,” is attributed to Turlough O’Carolan, a harpist from the 17th century who looms large in Celtic traditional circles. It is cleanly played and recorded, and it would not offend the ears of a Will Ackerman fan. But there’s just a candle’s wattage of digital sound processing flickering in the background, which makes this writer hope that somewhere on the auld sod there’s a bartender who slips it on late at night to mess with pub-closers who can’t tell if it’s the music or the pours of Redbreast that are messing with their senses. “Woes of the Turtle” is a John Fahey pastiche that shows McGrath has done his homework. With its slow tempo, bluesy air and double-thumbed bass, it fairly begs to have the word “Death” in the title.  

The album’s sole vocal turn, “Wheeldon,” is pleasant but kind of lightweight. That impression is a consequence of McGrath’s unassertive delivery, which feels tentative even when he overdubbing several voice tracks, but it’s redeemed by the confident grace of his lap steel embroidery and a catchy chorus. It might be that McGrath’s not cut out to be a singer, or that this is just the start of something better; if you go back to Steve Gunn’s records of a decade ago, you’ll find stuff like this.  

The record’s three tracks with other players are where McGrath sounds like he’s already arrived. Scored for guitar and a six-piece string and wind ensemble, they’re so immaculately performed and reproduced that it’s a bit of a shock to find that they are live recordings. The music holds up quite nicely when compared to its most obvious antecedent, Jim O’Rourke’s Bad Timing. The picking is similarly propulsive, and the tonal mix similarly rich and balanced. But where O’Rourke goes widescreen, McGrath is like a jeweler, crafting small but perfectly formed pieces that tempt you to pick them up and hold them to the light, just to get a better glance. Or maybe you’ll just turn up the hi-fi, hit the repeat button, and hope that McGrath has more intrigue to come.

Celtic Christmas 2021 #75 with the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast

It’s Celtic Christmas Music #75.

WELCOME TO THE CELTIC CHRISTMAS MUSIC

I am Marc Gunn. I’m Celtic musician with Christmas music and a podcaster. We are promoting Celtic culture through Christmas cheer.

Today’s show is a re - release of episode #537 of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast (Happy Celtic Christmas 2021). That is one of the other podcasts I host. It features Irish and Celtic music from around the world. It’s a fantastic show. Definitely go check out that episode and subscribe to that podcast if you love Celtic music.

Every year, I produce a Celtic Christmas episode over there. I usually release those episodes on this feed, but I didn’t do that over the last few years. This year, I was struck with the idea that I could slowly release episodes to build over to the regular season of the show. That’s what we’re doing.

I have a new season in the planning stages. But that means I need to find Patrons to financially make new episodes of this podcast happen!

For as little as $1 per episode, you can support new Celtic Christmas music and have it shared with thousands of Celtic and Christmas music fans around the world.

It doesn’t cost you much to spread Celtic Christmas cheer. But your small donation helps me a LOT to produce these episodes. The first three episodes of the year are all re - podcasts. I will not charge patrons for those episodes. So it won’t cost you a dime. BUT if you enjoy the shows, it would mean a lot to me if you would become a Celtic Christmas Patron.

Please make a pledge to spread Christmas cheer this holiday season.

Alright, without further adieu, let’s listen to the 2021 Celtic Christmas special:

『…ターロック・オキャロラン（トゥールロホ・オ・カロラン） （英: Turlough O'Carolan、愛: Toirdhealbhach Ó Cearbhalláin、 1670年 - 1738年3月25日）

アイルランドの伝説的な盲目のハープ奏者にして作曲家

（略）アイルランド各地を旅し、ほぼ50年に渡り土地土地の雇い主のための歌を作り歩いた。…』

『…■代表作 --- エレナー/エレノア・プランケット (Eleanor Plunkett)

エレノア・プランケットは、ミース県ロバーツタウン(Robertstown)で、カロランが最後に仕えた主人である。音楽的にとてもユニークな曲として知られる。前半6小節、後半10小節��2つの楽節から成り、多くの場合、それぞれ2回ずつ繰り返して演奏されるが、西洋音楽的な終止の形をとらず、ト調(G)でありながらニ(D)の音で終わる。

Eleanor Plunkett - low whistle & guitar - Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738) - YouTube

　 --- キャロランのコンチェルト (O'Carolan's Concerto)

Mrs. Powerというタイトルでも知られる。カロランがゴールウェイ県でデーヴィッド・パワーというパトロンに仕えていた時に作曲された。ヴィヴァルディやコレルリの影響を受けたイタリア風の曲であり、メイヨー県の領主に仕えていたイタリア人作曲家フランチェスコ・ジェミニアーニとの競作の結果生まれた曲であると言われている。 O'Carolan's Concerto - YouTube

　 --- 音楽への別れ (Farewell to music)

カロランが最期に作曲した曲。死期が迫っていることを悟ったカロランが、最初の主人であったマクダーモット・ロー夫人の元に帰り数週間を過ごした時、最期の力を振り絞って作曲した一作であると伝えられている。 Carolan's Farewell - arr John Feeley - YouTube

"Carolan's Farewell to Music" // Nadia Birkenstock, Celtic Harp (keltische Harfe, harpe celtique) - YouTube

　 --- シーベグ・シーモア (Sí Bheag, Sí Mhór／Sheebeg and Sheemore)

カロランが初めて作ったと言われている作品である。「小さな妖精(の丘)と大きな妖精(の丘)」という意味。アイルランド語の発音では「シーヴェグ・シーウォア[要出典]」。最初に訪れたリートリム県のジョージ・レイノルズという貴族は、彼の演奏の拙さを、「指より舌を使った方がよいものが出来るだろう」と指摘し、二つの妖精の軍隊の戦争に関する地元の伝説を聞かせ、作曲の才能を試したという。彼は、出来上がったこの曲を大層気に入り、もっと作曲の才能を伸ばすように助言し、励ましたと伝えられている。このこともあって、カロランは生涯曲を作り続けることになった。

4 Songs for Ayla Adalen

tagged by @galadrieljones​

I’m not...very good at picking music. I just listen to a lot of stuff sort of indiscriminately. Which is why Pandora is a blessing. But let’s give this a stab anyways, yeah?

Si Bheag, Si Mhor played on a hammer dulcimer specifically.

By Way of Sorrow - by the Wailin’ Jennys You've been taken by the wind You have known the kiss of sorrows Doors that would not take you in Outcast and a stranger You have come by way of sorrow you have come by way of tears But you'll reach your destiny meant to find you all these years

Iron - by Woodkid A soldier on my own, I don't know the way I'm riding up the heights of shame I'm waiting for the call, the hand on the chest I'm ready for the fight and fate The sound of iron shots is stuck in my head, The thunder of the drums dictates The rhythm of the falls the number of deaths The rising of the heights ahead

Almost Home - by The Greencards

I’m...actually not gonna tag @smorgsbord this time (unless...babe, hey babe...got any cool ocs?), but I’d love to know what songs other people have for their ocs.
