Sealbhú Possession

Bhí na colúir ann romham; There they were, the pigeons,seilbh acu ar leac na fuinneoige in possession of the window sill,is ar gháitéir an tí. of all the house's gutters.

Dhúisídís ar maidin mé lena ndúrdáil, Their cooing brings me to every morning,a gcuid súl á ruachan their rust-red eyeslastall den gcuirtín. beyond the curtain.

Chaithinn iad a ruaigeadh. They've got to go,Admhaím gur thug cleatar giorraisc a though I admit the snapping chatter of sciathán their wingssásamh dorcha dom. brings a black satisfaction.

Maidin amháin ní colmán a bhí romham One morning was pigeonlessach fiolar, but instead an eagle's talonsa chrága ar an gcófra tarraiceán. gripped the dresser.

B'éigean uisce coisricthe — buidéal de — It took holy water —a chaitheamh ina threo an entire bottle cast in its direction —chun é a dhíbirt. to banish it.

Músclaím. I'm awake.Tá brat cleití sa chlós. The yard boasts a cloak of feathers.Tá corracú i gcónaí im chluas. There's cooing always in my ears.

Nóta ón gCumadóir

Cruthaíonn Ní Ghearbhuigh saol a aithnímid gan dua. Seasann gnáthcholúir ar leaca nabhfuinneog, ag plobaireacht agus ag faire amach. Tá macalla den fhuaim uathu le sonrúi ngluaiseacht armónach an cheoil agus sa líne lúbach. An bhfuil siad ag seasamhdúinne, ag fanacht agus ag faire amach? Pléasctar an radharc simplí nuair a ghreadannan t-iolar isteach agus déanann scrios ar na mionchréatúir. Fórsa neamhghnáth atá sasiombal seo. Athraíonn an creachadóir seo an fuinneamh agus an móimeantam.Osclaíonn an líne ghutha nua-láidir, meallta ag an gcréatúr cumhachtach seo. Fágtar anceol neamhréitithe, ag dul go hiomlán in éag.

Composer's Note

Ní Ghearbhuigh paints a world of the familiar. The common pigeons take their stance onwindowsills, aimlessly cooing and watching. There is a repetition to their sound depictedin the music’s recurring harmonic movement and sinuous line. Are they representative ofourselves waiting and watching? The simple image is unexpectedly smashed by theappearance of the eagle who desecrates the smaller creatures. It symbolises a forcebeyond the norm. This predatory hunter shifts the energy and momentum. The newlyforceful vocal line opens, drawn in kinship to this powerful creature. The music remainsunresolved fading to nothing.

Nótaí Scóir

Sa scór seo a leanas tá trí líne de théacs faoin gcliath gutha. Sa líne ar barr tá téacs anamhráin – an fhilíocht. An líne sa lár – seo an tras-scríobh IPA mar threoir fhuaimnithed'amhránaithe nach bhfuil Gaeilge ar a dtoil acu. Sa líne ar bun tá aistriúchán focal arfhocal (i gcló iodálach) tugtha den fhilíocht. Tugann sé seo nod d'amhránaithe faoi bhríagus béim na bhfocal.

Tá na tempi uilig cruinn.

Score Notes

In the following score there are three lines of text under the vocal stave. The top line isthe song's text – the poetry. The middle line contains an IPA transcription as a guide forthose singers unfamiliar with the Irish language. The bottom line is a word-for-wordtranslation (in italics) of the poetry. This gives a hint to singers about the meaning andemphasis of the text.

All tempi are exact.

Emigrante Emigrant

An chéad fhómhar di Her very first Fallsa Domhan Úr in the New World, her main aimbhí fonn uirthi an uile ní was to calla ainmniú everything by a name,

nó an rud a bhrath to marklena méar: caonach, things with her finger — the moss,coirt fhliuch na gcrann, the wet tree bark,mogall cnó capaill the gloss

a raibh an taobh istigh de of a horse chestnut, the innermostchomh bogmhín part of which had grownagus maoth as tender-moistléi féin . . . as her own . . .

nó gur sháigh a máthair till her mom dareda ceann amach to stick her head outfuinneog in airde of an upstairsis do bhéic: window and shout:

¡Oye chica, que frío, eh?! Hi, Girl, surely you're cold enough?¿Dondé està tu chaqueta? Did you leave home without your muff?

Ní raibh uaithi anois Now her greatest desireach go slogfaí was to vanish off the facesa phuiteach í of the earth, sinking into the mirego barra a cinn. and leaving not a trace.

San ithir sin She would put forth a buda phéacfar í, from that patch of earth,as an gcré sin out of that same muda fháiscfí í. undergo a total rebirth.

Ní bhrisfidh an dúchas Nothing she carried gene-wisetrína súile go brách. would ever break through her eyes.

Nóta ón gCumadóir

In 'Emigrante', léiríonn Ní Ghearbhuigh íomhánna idir eisdhíritheach agus indíreathach. Tuigtear go bhfuil dearbhú i gceist, agus dúil sa taiscéalaíocht, mar a fhaigheann árbpearsa taithí ar an ‘Domhan Nua’, ar mhaith léi é a thuiscint go smior. Ó thaobh ancheoil de, cuirtear é seo in iúl le frásaí muiníneacha agus rithimí neamhrialta chundúthracht a léiriú. Ansin, ag deireadh an dáin, tarraingítear an phearsa isteach agféinscrúdú. Athraíonn an ceol go réimniú armónach simplí, mall. Íomhá den chré aguspéacáin úra ag borradh, luíonn sé le compord líne an doird neadaithe faoi bhun an ghuthaar foluain os a chionn, ag druidim i dtreo an neamhní.

Composer's Note

In 'Emigrante', Ní Ghearbhuigh presents images of both extrovert and introvert. There isa sense of assertion and hunger for exploration as our protagonist experiences the ‘NewWorld’, which she wants to absorb fully as her own. Musically this is reflected throughconfident strides and offbeat rhythms weaving a sense of determination. Then, as thepoem closes drawing our protagonist inwards in self-reflection, the music becomesfocused as slow paced simple harmonic progression. The image of soil shooting tentativenew buds lends itself to the comfort of the solid bass line earthed beneath the floatingvoice vanishing to nothing.

Nótaí Scóir

Sa scór seo a leanas tá trí líne de théacs faoin gcliath gutha. Sa líne ar barr tá téacs anamhráin – an fhilíocht. An líne sa lár – seo an tras-scríobh IPA mar threoir fhuaimnithed'amhránaithe nach bhfuil Gaeilge ar a dtoil acu. Sa líne ar bun tá aistriúchán focal arfhocal (i gcló iodálach) tugtha den fhilíocht. Tugann sé seo nod d'amhránaithe faoi bhríagus béim na bhfocal.

Tá solúbthacht sa cheol seo, agus ruainne den rubato le sonrú, ar nós snagcheoil. Tá natempi cruinn, ach ní gá a bheith chomh righin agus deireadh na bhfrásaí á mhúnlú.

Score Notes

In the following score there are three lines of text under the vocal stave. The top line isthe song's text – the poetry. The middle line contains an IPA transcription as a guide forthose singers unfamiliar with the Irish language. The bottom line is a word-for-wordtranslation (in italics) of the poetry. This gives a hint to singers about the meaning andemphasis of the text.

There is a fluidity about the music and it has a slight rubato jazz-like feel. Tempi areexact but ends of phrases can be shaped in a less rigid fashion.

Geimhriú Wintering

Bolgbhrón I caught a stomach-sorrowa tholgas while traipsingar fán i gceo an fhómhair; October's fogs;

chothaíos é le bia, I ate to nourish it,do dheineas dó cocún made a cocoon for it,is do leag isteach i bpluais laid it with slow reverencego humhal. in a hollow.

Tá suan mallaitheach For fourteen nightsag bagairt orm some cursed sleep's beenle coicís after me

is mé ag alpadh dorchadais. while I've been up feeding on darkness.

Ná labhair focal, Don't say a word,ná féach im threo, don't look in my direction.tá duifean ar mo chroí There's something on my heart nach n-ardófar. that can't be lifted.

Géillim don ngeimhriú. I give in to wintering.

Ní aithneofar mé You won't see mego péacadh na mbachlóg. till the buds begin to blossom.

III. Geimhriú / Wintering

Nóta ón gCumadóir

Is é seo an dán is machnamhaí as na trí cinn, ar ar thugus an teideal An Strainséar Féinorthu. Tá íomhánna an fhile pointeáilte, láidir agus socair. Tá an ceol fréamhaithe irithim athsheinnte mar choiscéimeanna troma. Tá draíocht ag baint le íomhánna anfhile, agus scáileanna na hoíche agus an dorchadas go forleathan. Tá an ceol éadrom,cosúil le fíolagrán ina ‘chocún’ timpeall ar an amhránaí – ag bogadh de shíor, agus agathchruthú spáis nua.

Composer's Note

This is the most meditative of the three poems, which I have collectively titled Outsider Self. Ní Ghearbhuigh’s imagery is exact, potent and still. The music is weighted by a rhythmic repetition like heavy footsteps. There is a sense of magic to the poet’s imagery as the world of night shadows and darkness is all consuming. The music is light, detailed as filigree ‘cocooning’ the singer. It is constantly shifting and recreating new ground.

Nótaí Scóir

Sa scór seo a leanas tá trí líne de théacs faoin gcliath gutha. Sa líne ar barr tá téacs anamhráin – an fhilíocht. An líne sa lár – seo an tras-críobh IPA mar threoir fhuaimnithed'amhránaithe nach bhfuil Gaeilge ar a dtoil acu. Sa líne ar bun tá aistriúchán focal arfhocal (i gcló iodálach) tugtha den fhilíocht. Tugann sé seo nod d'amhránaithe faoi bhríagus béim na bhfocal.

Ní cóir don sos anála ag deireadh frása a bheith ró-fhada, ach cosúil le osna a ligeanagus anál a tharraingt chun tosú in athuair.

Score Notes

In the following score there are three lines of text under the vocal stave. The top line isthe song's text – the poetry. The middle line contains an IPA transcription as a guide forthose singers unfamiliar with the Irish language. The bottom line is a word-for-wordtranslation (in italics) of the poetry. This gives a hint to singers about the meaning andemphasis of the text.

The length of the breath pauses at the end of phrase should not be overly long but resemble a sense of sighing and breathing in to start afresh.
