Learning Eanach Dhúin | The Sheep in the Boat

In today’s video we learn the slow air, Eanach Dhuin.

This beautiful slow air is a lament. It is the story of a ship wreck of individuals on their way to a fair in Galway.

Antoine Ó Raifteiri composed the lament poem and tune after a horrible boat accident that claimed the lives of 20 people.

I have segmented the YouTube video into chapters so you can jump to the play along with Scott section.
