MISE EIRE - Remastered Cd~MISE EIRE -Remastered CD~Now available for the first time, the entire score ofMise Éire by Seán Ó Riada.Gael Linn is delighted to announce that April 12th sees the release of the full score of Mise Éire, by Seán Ó Riada. Up to now, only 15 minutes of the soundtrack has ever been made available. The new CD includes the full score, over 40 minutes, which has been digitally re-mastered from the original archive tapes.
Ó Riada was commissioned by Gael Linn to write the score for its feature-length film Mise Éire (1959), directed by George Morrisson. The film uses newsreel and contemporary photographs to tell the story of events surrounding the Easter Rising of 1916. Ó Riada's inspired musical score brought the images to life and instilled them with emotion. It also ensured that what might have otherwise been a minority-interest documentary became, in fact, one of the most widely-acclaimed and appreciated events in Irish film history; the film itself will shortly be re-released on DVD.Recording of the music for Mise Éire took place at the Phoenix Hall, Dublin, on May 19th 1959, with Ó Riada conducting the Radio Éireann Symphony Orchestra, leader Arthur Nachstern.Musically, Mise Éire is most interesting. Ó Riada draws heavily from the Irish tradition with songs such as Róisín Dubh, Boolavogue and Sliabh na mBan. However, the film refers to many aspects of the historical context and music reflects this. Listeners will hear pieces as varied as the labour anthem (1913 lock-out), the Eton Boat Song (Viceroy Aberdeen at the Horse Show) and Tipperary (conscription). Ó Riada also experimented and several pieces have a distinctly modernist feel (Pearse's surrender).One of the most significant tracks on the album, Tomás Ághas: Sochraid (funeral of Thomas Ashe, who died in 1917 while on hunger strike in Mountjoy Prison. Mahatma Gandhi was reported to have been influenced by this) has never been released before and is evidence of Ó Riada's ability to speak sensitively to the heart, without sentimentality. It is one of those pieces of music which, once heard, will never be forgotten.The title track, Mise Éire, instills a tremendous feeling of national pride and is one of the world's most recognised pieces of Irish music. Mise Éire is one of the most important pieces of Irish music of the twentieth century.MISE EIRE: • 01 Link Theme • 02 Boer War Theme • 03 The Funeral Of The Bachelors Walk Victims • 04 O`Donovan Rossa Lying In State • 05 Irish Volunteers Theme • 06 By O`Donovan Rossa`s Graveside • 07 The Execution Of The Leaders • 08 Insurrection • 09 Peace Returns To The Liffeyside • 10 Link Theme • 11 Dublin Devasted • 12 Irish Volunteers Theme • 13 The Asgard Sequence • 14 Mise Eire • SAOIRSE: 01 Kelly The Boy From Kilane • 02 Terence McSwiney Funeral Sequence • 03 Who Fears To Speak? 04 Black And Tan Sequence • 05 Joybells • 06 Step Together • 07 Link Themes • 08 Saoirse? • AN TINE BHEO: 01 A Nation Once Again • 02 An Tine Bheo • 03 Pearse Theme • 04 The Grand Old Dame Britania • 05 Who Fears To Speak? • 06 Miontami • 07 God Save Ireland • 08 Roger Casement Theme • 09 An Tine Bheo~MISE EIRE - CD|ORIADACD03|~2663~2664~Sean Ó Riada~
