For some reason, Joe sings the second verse of this song twice. As he was recording it for use by John Cage in his work <cite>Roaratorio<\/cite>, it could be that Joe felt the need to add length to the song. In any event, the words to the song would have been unintelligible in the context of that work.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a Conamara song but a Munster one&nbsp;&mdash; as the language clearly indicates. Normally, Joe would make changes in a Munster text so that the song would sit more naturally within his own dialect framework; here, however, he makes few such changes, and given the recording circumstances, he may have been using a printed source when he recorded this. <cite class=\"amhr\u00e1n\">Jimmy Mo Mh\u00edle St\u00f3r<\/cite> was not part of his standard repertoire, and he made no commercial recordings of it.<\/p>\n<p>This air also occurs with <cite class=\"amhr\u00e1n\">Drioth\u00e1ir\u00edn-\u00d3 Mo Chro\u00ed<\/cite>.<\/p>\n<p>Recorded for John Cage&#8217;s <cite>Roaratorio<\/cite>.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"templates\/template-full-width.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-amhrain","category-amhrain-i-ngaeilge"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=409"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1503,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409\/revisions\/1503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
