  • Fill to me the Parting Glass was composed by Shaun Davey in 1998 for the closing sequence of the film Waking Ned; the words are traditional set to his new, original melody. In 2002 Shaun Davey re-orchestrated the song to include full orchestra and choir. In 2013 He added bagpipes in A to create a more powerful sound for the closing concert of Derry, European City of Culture.

    For me, this (with the original Ned Devine soundtrack) is the definitive version of this beautiful and cheeky farewell song. We played it as my husband's coffin was carried out of the church, and it lifted me to sing along. Thank you Shaun for this gift of tune, Liam for his voice, and everyone else involved 🙏

    themselves in search of comfort from the gathering cold.

      My mom said the exact same thing about 10 years ago. At the time i thought it was the most morbid thing i ever hear. In the years since ive come to appreciate this song (especially Shaun's version) to such an extent that I wonder why it isn't played at every irish funeral. This song (and Waking Ned Devine lol) will live on well past us and is a beautiful farewell, in life and death

  • @theghoulyard
    @theghoulyard 2 роки тому +4

    Davey's version was a beautiful "modernized" version without killing the traditional sound. I love both versions, but this is much more emotionally charged. The Uilleann pipes might be the punch in my heart.
    I played my interpretation of it on wooden recorder for my grandmother's funeral (tied in with Amazing Grace). I cried through it. If I ever got back into performing music, this is one I'd want to do, but at the same time don't thing I could handle it.

    The Parting Glass es demasiado más antigua que 1998 y ya es una canción y melodía tradicionales del mundo celta y sobre todo del Erin y desde luego no es una mera cancioncilla de funerales//expresa la amistad o sea el amor compartido como camaradería cuando uno o una de los amigos amigas ha de partir lejos a otros mares o tierras o a los senderos de eternidad siendo esta melodía canción una fiel expresión de la confianza sin fin en la vida que hay aun en toda muerte y esto es lo propio de todo y para todo celta//en buen castellano se diría que esta canción trata de la copa del estribo//Shaun Davey es un investigador de Irlanda del Norte en específico de Belfast que rescata esta canción-melodía del olvido y creemos que en realidad es anónima algo semejante y distinto al Mull de Kintyre que Paul McCartney le agrega una letra de su autoría a la melodía antigua y anónima del Mull de Kintyre//gracias

    And all I've done for want of wit

    Good night and joy be to you all

    And drink a health whate'er befalls

    And all the sweethearts that e'er I had

    Fill to me the parting glass
    And drink a health whate'er befalls

It’s majestic and proud full of the Old Country. The soundtrack also has some Gaelige verses which is perfect. I want that version played at my funeral. I have tried to find the lyrics to the Gaelige part so I can learn them. Anyone who can tell us who these people are would be great! If ya have the words as well please share! Here’s the original. It’s magnificent!
