Thread Name: lyrics and pronunciation guide needed!
Subject: lyrics and pronunciation guide needed!
Hi all - I wonder if anyone could help me out.

I'm a composer specialising in world fusion music. I am currently working on a track that needs some simple Gaelic lyrics. This is an area that I am totally unfamiliar with. Ideally I'd like to use an excerpt from an old text, which means that I need to know where to look for texts that are traditional and out of copyright.

Secondly I need to know who to pronounce the words correctly. Are there any sites that contain downloadable recordings, or recordings I can buy, or is there a site or perhaps a book that I can get the pronunciation from?

Thanking you for your time,

Troy Banarzi
