Allt II: Cuimhne is a collection of newly composed settings of Irish and Scottish Gaelic poems and tunes. This recording forms the highly anticipated second release from the quartet featuring Julie Fowlis, Éamon Doorley, John Mc Intyre and Zoë Conway.
Cuimhne, the Gaelic word meaning a memory, a record, a memorial or a recollection, is a fitting title for this work, as the quartet are taking inspiration from the memories of Gaelic tradition and reworking and reframing them into a contemporary setting.
Poetry has been the dominant medium of art in Gaelic culture for hundreds of years and aligned with it is a tradition of setting music to poetry. Inspired by this, the quartet have created melodies which add an extra dimension to the lyrics that allows us to experience the emotional power of language.
With the addition of newly composed instrumental music, this album truly takes us on a journey of the shared heritage of Ireland and Scotland, Éire is Alba, and showcases the immense beauty of our traditions.
