about

Rena tells that “I was taught Currach Bhrìde by Lewis singer Christine Primrose. It is an ancient song about the oyster-catcher, St Brigid’s holy bird, being the guardian of children lost at sea.” In discussing how to add music to the song, Rena quoted traditional singer, Paul McCallum: He opined that the sea is in all Gàidhlig song, because the makers of this music were surrounded by it. There is a natural rhythm in this kind of song, but not in the sense of beats and time signatures. It is more akin to breathing or the surge of surf on the shore. My setting of Currach Bhrìde evokes our unforgiving western sea.
