Máire Brennan, Cormac de Barra - Voices and Harps (IV) (2024)

‘Voices & Harps IV ‘- the new album from Moya Brennan and Cormac De Barra - is a tribute to the legend that is Mary O’Hara. From sell-out shows at Carnegie Hall, The Royal Albert Hall and Sydney Opera House to a BBC TV series and a catalogue of 29 albums, Mary’s voice & her harp brought Gaelic songs with Irish harp to a global audience, in a career that has spanned over six decades.

Voices & Harps IV’ draws on that repertoire of songs, both in English and Irish, and reimagines some of Mary’s best-known tracks - including “Lord of the Dance”, “The Spinning Wheel”, “Song of Fionnuala (Silent O Moyle)” and “An Maidrín Rua” - with Moya and Cormac’s creative musical synergy giving it their Voices & Harps touch. Moya Brennan was the voice of the now retired Clannad singing “Theme From Harry’s Game”, “I Will Find You” and “In a Lifetime”, while Cormac, partnered with Moya in Volumes 1-3, plays harp, and sings.
