THE BLUE OF THE NIGHT WITH CARL CORCORAN
Acallam na Senórach is a setting by English composer Tarik O’Regan of a 12th Century text about the Fianna warriors Caílte mac Rónán and Oisín, nephew of legendary Fionn Mac Cumhaill. O’Regan adapted the narrative into a one-hour musical setting for solo guitar and chorus which was commissioned and recorded by Chamber Choir Ireland along with guitarist Stewart French. It’s under the Blue spotlight all this week.
