Joe&#8217;s remarks reflect the necessity of &#8216;living the song&#8217; &#8211; like drawing a picture, you need a blueprint. He would never just practice one line at a time. The first thing is to know the story &#8211; it&#8217;s very important and informs the whole. One line knits into the next &#8211; it&#8217;s got to be done straight through. Holistic approach. You have to see it happening, and be in the shoes of the person the song is about.<\/p>\n<h2>Stylistic differences between Joe and his father<\/h2>\n<p>Esther asks Joe how his style may differ from that of his father, and Joe says that his father&#8217;s style would generally have been a bit quicker than his own, at least in the slow songs. As regards ornamentation, Joe says his own style is much more ornamented than his father&#8217;s would have been. The song &#8216;Easter Sunday&#8217; (presumably Amhr\u00e1n na P\u00e1ise) would have been sung without ornamentation; and people tell him they like it. His grandmother&#8217;s first reaction was &#8216;Where did you get that?&#8217; &#8211; meaning the style of it &#8211; but after a while they liked it &#8211; glorifying the song, putting it on a pedestal. This would have been six months or so before she died. &#8216;People who sing in imitation of somebody else is like courting somebody else&#8217;s girlfriend, with your two arms around her. But there is no way I can do them as good as I want to do them &#8211; justice over justice. Because I love the songs so much, I understand the spirit of the songs, and I understand why the songs were composed in the first place &#8211; and nobody knows who composed the half of them, you see.&#8217;<\/p>\n<div class=\"n\u00f3ta\u00ed-bun-leathanaigh\">\n<h2 id=\"t:notai\">Notes<\/h2>\n<p>This was recorded while Joe Heaney was Artist-in-Residence at the University of Washington.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"templates\/template-full-width.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-627","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stil-amhranaiochta"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=627"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/627\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1632,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/627\/revisions\/1632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
