Video Guitar Interlude I from Tarik O'Regan: Acallam na Senórach (SACD HMU 807486)

Film: Melanie Manchot | Guitar: Stewart French | Music: Tarik O'Regan

Acallam na Senórach, a Middle Irish narrative dating to the late 12th or early 13th century, translates to English as 'The Colloquy of the Ancients' or 'Dialogue of the Elders'. It is one of the most important texts to survive from that period and is one of the longest surviving works of original medieval Irish literature. This hour-long rendering of the mythical tale composed by Tarik O'Regan is scored for sixteen voices, acoustic guitar and bodhrán (Irish frame drum).

Music from the album Acallam na Senórach: an Irish Colloquy (National Chamber Choir of Ireland/Paul Hillier)
