Farewell to the Corncrake
“In my youth the call of the corncrake during the long summer nights was a very common sound throughout the locality. In recent years the corncrake has become extinct in this part of the country and can only be found in counties further north. I composed this tune in remembrance of their time here.”
Slán leis an dTraonach
“Le linn m’óige ba mhinic a chloistí glaoch an traonaigh ar fuaid na dúthaí le linn oícheanta fada an tsamhraidh. Le blianta deireanacha anuas, tá an traonach imithe i léig sa taobh seo tíre agus gan teacht air ach i gcontaetha an tuaiscirt amháin. Chumas an port seo i gcuimhne ar an am a bhí sé inár measc anseo.”
