Subject: RE: Help: Psalm singing and traditional ballads
Ther was a special on EWTN on Friday titled >a href=http://navigation.helper.realnames.com/framer/1/262/default.asp?realname=EWTN&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eewtn%2Ecom%2F&frameid=1&providerid=262&uid=30004624>Glendalough: A Mystical Journey. I don't know if they plan to re-air it. It is possible to buy a video of the program. It examined a number of monastic sites including Skelligs Michil. The presenter showed grave stones on Skelligs Michil inscribed in Irish and Latin, so one could assume that Irish and Latin were used formally on the monastaries as Daystar stated. I wish I had taken some notes becaus it was quite interesting.
I know ther is a connection between Sephardic(Jewish in Spain) music and and Carribean music. I would love to see an Irish angle on this.
