A friend wants to know the exact meaning of "The Coolin" which is the title of the third of the Barber's "Reincarnations" with lyrics from an Irish poet. A search on Digitrad brought several references to a traditional Irish song but not of any Barber song.

In the context of the lyrics, it seems to be the name given to a moment of the day, when everything is calm.

Thanks for any information. Un Abrazo - Andrés (in the hot Buenos Aires)
