“Ó a Bhríd – Ode to Brigid” (Susan Quirke and Enda Gallery)

 


What a beautiful, moving, wonderful chant. It brings ease to my troubled heart. “Ó a Bhríd – Ode to Brigid” is here.

From Susan Quirke’s YouTube site:

This track was commissioned by the Herstory Educational Trust to write a piece of music in honour of Brigid for St. Brigid's Day, 2024. 

In her own words; 'Since landing home from Australia I have been making music with Enda Gallery deep in the hi

“One afternoon more than thirty-five years ago I set foot on a path that changed my life. I found a name in a book – Brigit – and a brief column of text about her. A spark was kindled and I knew I wanted more. This led me to a search for information about Brigit and connection with her that has never ceased. Though my understanding of her has grown and shifted since those first few paragraphs, I remain drawn to Brigit like a lamb to its mother.”
Mael Brigde, A Brigit of Ireland Devotional: Sun Among Stars

“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness

“That's a nice song," said young Sam, and Vimes remembered that he was hearing it for the first time.
"It's an old soldiers' song," he said.
"Really, sarge? But it's about angels."
Yes, thought Vimes, and it's amazing what bits those angels cause to rise up as the song progresses. It's a real soldiers' song: sentimental, with dirty bits.
"As I recall, they used to sing it after battles," he said. "I've seen old men cry when they sing it," he added.
"Why? It sounds cheerful."
They were remembering who they were not singing it with, thought Vimes. You'll learn. I know you will.
Terry Pratchett, Night Watch

“For as the body is clad in the cloth, and the flesh in the skin, and the bones in the flesh, and the heart in the whole, so are we, soul and body, clad in the Goodness of God, and enclosed.”
Julian, Anchoress at Norwich, Revelations of Divine Love Recorded by Julian, Anchoress at Norwich Anno Domino 1373

“The hardness of a diamond is part of its usefulness, but its true value is in the light that shines through it.”
B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Life
