about

“Amhrán Mhuighinse'' is what is called an ‘Instructional lament’, a traditional Irish gaelic sean-nós lament in which the singer envisions her death and through the text of the song, instructs those living as to how and where she wishes to be laid out, buried and waked. “Amhrán Mhuighinse” was attributed to a woman who lived in the nineteenth century, Máire (Mairín) Ní Chlochartaigh. She was married to Taimín Bán Ó Conghaile of Leitir Calaidh but she asked to be buried in Mhuighinse where she was from (Mainis or Mweenish Island near Carna, County Galway). This was the very first lament and sean- nós song that I ever learnt and for this reason it means a great deal to me. I learnt the version that you hear from the CD of acclaimed sean nós singer Nan Tom Taimín.
