About 2 months ago, at the Dublin Airport I was browsing the CDs in the duty free music shop when my attention was drawn by a beautiful cover art sepia photo of the ocean rocky shore. At that moment, the title and the composer were unknown to me: Se?°n ?ď Riada - Mise ?Čire.
It is an original Mise ?Čire film soundtrack played by Irish Radio Symphonic Orchestra (CEOLFHOIREANN SHIANSACH RADIO ?ČIREANN). The film Mise ?Čire by George Morrison is a chronicle of Ireland between 1869 and 1918.
The booklet is full of historical photos of the leaders of Easter Rising - Michael Collins, ?Čamon de Valera and P?°draic Mac Piarais (Patrick Pearse) ?Äď a poet, the writer of the poem Mise ?Čire.
The poem Mise ?Čire is short but beautiful and sad as Irish history is. It is also nice exercise in translating from Gaeilge using my old dictionary.
I have found that poem in a two different dialect versions, and I don?Äôt know which one is original and in which dialect it is.
