So far, "Tír na nOg", "Tír na Nog" and tir nan og. I understand the phrase to mean the Celtic version of Twilight of the Gods, but is there a right way to spell it? (Not being picky this time: just interested.)

as far as I know the correct spelling is Tir nan Og which translates asland of the ever young but more commonly known as the celtic heaven

Bran, go here Click!and listen to the background music. If that is it, we'll figure out a way to get the MIDI turned into sheet music.

There is also a song called Tir na Nog recorded by a band called Tir na Nog...

And a GREAT children's TV show set there, the Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, I think (well, I'm sure of the Mysic Knights part, at least...) - just chiming in on the spelling thing (it's a European show, it may even be Irish).

There is a correct spelling of it...in Irish Gaelic it is Tir na nOg with a fada over the "i" and the "O" (I don't use fadas, as not all software can read them). Means Land of Youth.

The word "tir" in Irish means "land of" as in Tir Eoghain, County Tyrone.

Additionally, there are Tir Na mBan, Land of Women; Tir fo Thuinn, Land under the Wave; Tir na mBeo, Land of the Living, etc. All are found often in Irish myth, and are euphemisms for the Irish Otherworld.

Thanks you all guys.

Tir nan Og or whatever it´s spelled absolutly rules.

the one I am looking for is an Irish Air. Composed apparently by Jackie Daly.

I´ve heard some other tunes with the same name (like the one played by Marie Brachnat).

Margaret, thanks a lot for the offering but I don´t feel so , I live in Chile so it´s quite long way.

sy ya twa the gyllies.
