Im from the west of ireland and grew up with this music. Its heart warming to see brothers and sisters from over the seas taking to this music. Big respect. Beautiful rendition

My da was from Ballina, I’ve got it in my blood, this version made me tear up

[@jeffreyhoward6319]

The first time I heard this tune was in my native West Virginia at the annual Vandalia Gathering in the late 80s by a local old time Appalachian string band. Its been one of my favorites ever sense

[@pigjubby1]

Japanese folk music can be very melancholy like Irish folk music. Very emotional and passionate.

[@Batoutofhell23]

Q: "What does it take to proof that music transcends cultural barriers?" A: "Five highly talented Asian musicians, an ancient Irish tune about fairies and three pairs of disposable slippers...!"

[@hotwheelsearl]

Hey in an Asian household those disposable slippers will last for decades

Beautiful rendition! I love the Oakland A's cap. Talking about lost battles, we lost our beloved Oakland A's last week to Sacramento where they'll be moving on eventually to Nevada. "Long long ago in this ancient land A battle took place where two hills now stand And on the plain there lay the slain For neither the battle was won So the bard did sing of these fairy hills Where bloom the white flowers and daffodils One big one small Si Bheag Si Mhor And never the battle is won"

[@nolanbowen8800]

[@BeeRaider1]

Brilliant to see such appreciation for Irish (O'Carolan) music.

[@richardplante1229]

Wow, I closed my eyes when the harp started to play. So beautifully orchestrated that each instrument played solo each along with the harp and then orchestrated together at the end. Throughout I thought perhaps this, in my imagination, was Silly Wizard. I love this so much I would pay good money to see you at a concert. Truly! Thank you.

This superb tune ought to be the anthem of the UN,,,or at least UNESCO,,,since the whole world seems to love it, This version in a strange way reminds me of the 1957 film by Kon Ichikawa,,,The Harp of Burma,,,the greatest film ever made about WW2, It is the harp that unites them,,, and also the profound redemptive serenity of both the film and this ensemble playing, My admiration for this ensemble is boundless

Ancient Irish music is very popular in Japan - Down by the Salley Gardens was a collosal hit. How interesting! It might be because it reflects a culture based upon purity, integrity and collectivism, rather than the modern capitalist culture of avarice, arrogance and individuality.
