What a beautiful, moving, wonderful chant. It brings ease to my troubled heart. “Ó a Bhríd – Ode to Brigid” is here.
From Susan Quirke’s YouTube site:
This track was commissioned by the Herstory Educational Trust to write a piece of music in honour of Brigid for St. Brigid's Day, 2024.
In her own words; 'Since landing home from Australia I have been making music with Enda Gallery deep in the hills of Kilfernora in County Clare. We have co-written and co-produced an Irish meditative mantra in our own native tongue, 11 minutes and 33 seconds long, imbued with love, the rhythm of a heartbeat through the sound of the bodhrán, magic and mysticism to honour the Spirit of Brigid and our homeland of Éire. The song flowed peacefully through us as we sang our vocals through the light of a flame. In honour of Brigid and her sacred symbols, we have the sound of fire crackling throughout the track. We also recorded the water from St. Brigit's well in Liscannor to balance the sound with running water from the well.
The song is also created at 432hz, known as a healing frequency.
LYRICS
Tabhair dom do lámh
Oscail mo chroí
Ag athrú ar nós crann
Ciúin ar nós uisce domhain
Ó a Bhríd Bríd”
---- English translation:
Give me your hand
Open my heart
Changing like a tree
Quiet as deep water
Ó a Bhríd Bríd
