Felipa Lyr ADD: Rug Muire Mac Do Dhia (15) RE: Rug Muire Mac Do Dhia 06 Jan 24


I just listened on youtube to Cara Dillon singing Rug Muire Mac Do Dhia (also available on Bandcamp). She has the same lyrics posted at the beginning of this thread and sings to the tune I'm familiar with. I've seen Seán Óg Ó Tuama credited with the tune, words traditional. But I just found an essay which says the sixteen century poet who wrote the words was a Franciscan named Eoghan Ó Dubhthaigh. The essay in https://gaeilge.org.au/caipeisi/nuachtlitir/anl239.pdf says that we don't know who composed the tune, but also says that it was originally a poem, with music added later.
