The Meeting of the Waters - Maureen Hegarty

[@francesryan7614]

My late dad loved this song and would sing it to us kids ..brings back lovely memories of him sitting at our fireplace

[@kate18234]

This was favorite of my brother Louis, who died in September. He sang it when he was in grammar school. My hallmark song was "My Lagan Love," and my sister's was "The Lark in the Clear Air." All make me weepy, as both siblings have diedl. Thank you for this lovely singing.

My mother now 88 was taught this by missionary nuns in the wilds of Borneo. She was teaching me how to sing this. It was so hard I was thrilled to find this on KZbin. And am learning it from you. You have a lovely voice.

[@coltal1]

beautiful... I have always loved this song... and I ve stood on thte spot where the two waters meet

[@maureenderry]

Thanks for commenting. I love this song too but have never been there.

[@Corrie121]

What a lovely song and what a beautiful voice you are gifted with. I have absolutely no Irish connections, but I just love these Irish melodies. Thank you for sharing this gem, which I have added to my favourites.

[@michaelkerriganm7985]

i regularly listen to this most beautiful song, written by an inspired writer thos moore, and sung by a very eloquent singer.it gives me emense pleasure listening to it

[@basilvictorhomer]

What an exquisite rendition of this beautiful song, Maureen! It was a favourite of my mother, who sadly passed away peacefully on Sunday, aged 95. She used to sing it often as it took her back to the country of her birth, her beloved Ireland. She was born and bred near Gorey, Co Wexford, not so far from the Vale of Avoca. How I would love to play it at her funeral (this coming Monday 8/12/08) but my search for a CD version has proved in vain so far. However I'll keep searching to the end!

[@fionnlaoiseach2565]

Absolutely beautiful. A pity Tom Moore is so neglected now. The words, music and singing are delightful. Tá na deora ag sileadh.

[@maureenderry]

I love Thomas Moore's songs. Thank you for comment and for your compliments.

[@sandraobrien8705]

oh my goodness, absolutely beautiful

[@maureenderry]

Sandra O'Brien ...Thank you Sandra.

[@maureenderry]

Thank you...it is a fabulous song.

[@billgray2195]

Terrific version. Wonderful.

[@EbenezerIan123]

It's a lovely song I first learned in my courting days 60 years ago. We knew our own "Vale of Avoca" I'm preparing it for an open mic evening.

[@irishlazylizzy]

Maureen, you have a voice like an angel.

[@Corrie121]

Absolutely beautiful. I hope that you will get round to recording "The Lark In The Clear Air". I know you would do it the justice you have given to this beautiful video. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us.

[@maureenderry]

Thank you ....yes Thomas Moore has written some beautiful songs.

[@janeos01]

So beautiful, thanks

[@gamingforidiots401]

just lovely Maureen

[@maureenderry]

Brian Ehno Thank you.

[@maureenderry]

Thankyou'. It is a long time since I first sang this song.

[@jackfletcher1000]

Beautiful song and beautifully sung, is it only me or is there a whiff of Mountains of Mourne about this.

[@maureenderry]

Awwww....thank you.

[@StephenMarkBrown]

Absolutely lovely, Maureen :-)

[@maureenderry]

I regret that I have not recorded The Hills of Donegal....great song.....but I have sung it on several occasions. I don't know if my voice would be able for it now.

[@magzb2642]

Thomas Moore never heard it sung better☘

[@maureenderry]

Thanks for your comment. One of the first songs I learned and sang solo was "The Lark in the Clear Air" Idon't know why I never recorded it.....maybe will soon.

[@maureenderry]

Thank you for your lovely comment. I am a little late but have been off the internet for a few months.

[@maureenderry]

Thank you.

[@maureenderry]

Also one of the first prizes I won at Derry Feis was with this song!.

[@maureenderry]

All beautiful songs and I have sung them all...I particularly like "My Lagan Love"

[@kate18234]

My brother Louis sang this song, while I sang"My Lagan Love," when we were young. It was the custom to sing for the company in those days. I would like to hear "The Lark in the Clear Air," which my sister Julia used to sing, and as someone else suggested, "Love Thee, Dearest."

[@michaelkerriganm7985]

maureen i wonder did you ever record the song,' oh hills of donegal so dear to me' i have great memories of my late grandmother sing it when i was very young.

[@maureenderry]

Thank you for such a lovely comment. Maureen

[@maureenderry]

This song and The Lark in the Clear Air were the first 2 songs I sang and won prizes with in Feis competitions. I am sorry I have not recorded The Lark but maybe some time in the future.

[@maureenderry]

@richardhanna0 I have heard that song sung many times but always by men. I must look it up....I was given an old book of all Moores Melodies. Beautiful! Maybe I will sing "At the Midhour of Night" soon.

[@ryandariushwood225]

Lovely, Maureen. Yours is by far the best rendition available. Just out of curiosity: What is your highest recorded note? I imagine you have the notes for Queen of the Night!

[@maureenderry]

Don't sing so high now..... I am singing all my songs in lower keysm

[@alasdairthomson2909]

A lovely song with lovely singing, Unfortunately I don't sing so low now and have to sing all my songs in a higher key, Perhaps that;s a sign of age. You win some and you lose some.

[@maureenderry]

Thank you for your lovely comment. . I am sorry about your mother's death ... she had a wonderful long life.

[@maureenderry]

@GalwayRose1 Thank you. I am hoping to have internet connection at home soon so I can continue uploading videos. At the moment I am using the library.

[@maureenderry]

Don't know why I did not reply to this lovely comment....thank you.

[@choloangelo]

There is not in this wide world a valley so sweet As that vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet, Oh! the last rays of feeling and life must depart Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart. Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart.
