02 Dec 05 - 09:29 AM (#1618482) Subject: RE: shay fan yan ley From: GUEST,DavyB Has anyone noticed that "Shay Fan Yan Ley" as sung in the Mysteries trilogy is the same tune as the Appalachian hymn "Bright Morning Stars"? Where did Linda Thompson get the words from and which language are they in? |

24 Jan 09 - 11:59 PM (#2548431) Subject: RE: shay fan yan ley From: GUEST,Dennis King It's Irish: 'S é fáinne an lae = it is the ring of day = it is the dawn I can't recall it all without a listen, but I believe it ends: im anam féin = in my own soul |

29 May 13 - 08:19 PM (#3520565) Subject: RE: shay fan yan ley From: GUEST,AFSC .Dennis King, do you know anything more about the Irish song, since you know some of the actual Irish words? I was told by Graeme Taylor of The Home Service that they learned the words phonetically from the Irish actor Jimmy G. Devlin--thus "Shay fan yan ley" appears in the script for "The Mysteries" and on a CD of Linda Thompson's songs (Dreams Fly Away). I could provide a recording if it would help. Any information appreciated! |

30 May 13 - 08:00 AM (#3520671) Subject: RE: shay fan yan ley From: Edthefolkie Thanks for resurrecting this thread AFSC - I too wondered about the song, somehow never connecting the Nativity version with Irish. There are several versions of both song and tune I believe (there's a surprise). Loads of stuff on the Web, starting as usual with Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dawning_of_the_Day I must say Linda sang it beautifully at the National Theatre. She was having trouble with her voice at that time, too. She's a great person, more power to her arm. |

31 May 13 - 08:18 AM (#3521061) Subject: RE: shay fan yan ley From: Edthefolkie Ta for that Guest. I suspect it's Pete Bullock on synth, well known folk instrument. Great album, bought it from a record store on Wisconsin Ave in DC. There was a load of good stuff in that store but my Brit plastic couldn't stand the strain. |

31 May 13 - 11:26 AM (#3521147) Subject: RE: shay fan yan ley From: MartinRyan Had a quick listen. The repeated opening phrase is "Sé fáinne an lae" - "it is the dawn of day". The rest is a bit indistinct - I'll try again later. Incidentally, I don't see any resemblance to the "Fáinne Geal an Lae" song. Regards |
