I have tried several sources and can get the words easy enough but I need the tunes for the choir. We are attempting to celebrate the Mass in Irish St. Patrick's week (2009). Any help would be appreciated. |

Very popular. I'll see what's available as recordings and sheet music, later today. Regards |

25 Apr 08 - 03:40 AM (#2325036) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mass in Irish From: MartinRyan O'Riada's settings are called "Aifreann Ui Riada" and "Aifreann 2" (?). There is/was a Gael Linn recording of both but their site reports it as out of stock. You may be able to locate a copy. I have seen printed versons of the first setting - I may even have one around here somewhere. We can dig up details if necessary. Good luck Regards |

25 Apr 08 - 04:38 PM (#2325702) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mass in Irish From: MartinRyan Let's try that again: This site appears to have stock of the CD with both O'Riada masses. Regards |

Let us know what you choose - |

25 Apr 08 - 11:36 PM (#2325937) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mass in Irish From: Jimmy C Martin, I forgot to add that the Priest who will be celebrating the Mass is also called O'Riada ?????. |
