It is. Seán, not Péadar. The lyrics, though, are from the 18th century.john wrote:is that an o'riada composition?

I'm 4+ minutes in. How long do I have to listen to get to a lyric?

And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Re: O'Riada Rocks.
Oh, I see what you mean. I mentioned the lyrics - a poem, actually - in the abstract, in this case, not in reference to the video itself. There's an example of imprecision for you. There are no lyrics sung in the vid, as you point out, and the tune is often played thusly, as an air. But Ó Ríada originally composed the tune for the poem so that it could be sung, and it was because of that that I referred to the composition as an intended whole without taking the vid proper into account.s1m0n wrote:I'm 4+ minutes in.
