Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Kilcash / Cill Chais
There are several recordings of Cill Chais on youtube
example Seosaimhín Ní Bheaglaioch et al
sheet music
on folk tune finder
Patrick Comerford's blog includes photos of ruins of Cill Chais
I wonder who set the words to music. I found this comment on Ceolas:The Fiddler's Companion: "The tune appears as 'An Arran Air' in Hoffman's 1877 arrangement of melodies mostly taken from the George Petrie collection."
