Im from the west of ireland and grew up with this music. Its heart warming to see brothers and sisters from over the seas taking to this music. Big respect. Beautiful rendition
The first time I heard this tune was in my native West Virginia at the annual Vandalia Gathering in the late 80s by a local old time Appalachian string band. Its been one of my favorites ever sense
Q: "What does it take to proof that music transcends cultural barriers?" A: "Five highly talented Asian musicians, an ancient Irish tune about fairies and three pairs of disposable slippers...!"
@@hotwheelsearl as a british person ignore this man, i have never heard of disposable slippers lmao and they look like normal slippers. We use them for decades too.
Beautiful rendition! I love the Oakland A's cap. Talking about lost battles, we lost our beloved Oakland A's last week to Sacramento where they'll be moving on eventually to Nevada. "Long long ago in this ancient land A battle took place where two hills now stand And on the plain there lay the slain For neither the battle was won So the bard did sing of these fairy hills Where bloom the white flowers and daffodils One big one small Si Bheag Si Mhor And never the battle is won"
Pure magic. I feel that the crusted frost of winter has given way to the sweepings of spring. A new journey begins. Thank you for taking me there. Positively magical.
I’ve never seen it before with the viola, let alone all of these instruments altogether, yet it’s such a beautiful rendition! Thank you for this gift to the world
Fabulous to hear Turlough O'Carolan's music travelling all across the world to Japan and great to see young musicians performing Sí Bhéag Shí Mhór so delicately... well done to all...Eamon Sinnott, Ireland.
Wow, I closed my eyes when the harp started to play. So beautifully orchestrated that each instrument played solo each along with the harp and then orchestrated together at the end. Throughout I thought perhaps this, in my imagination, was Silly Wizard. I love this so much I would pay good money to see you at a concert. Truly! Thank you.
Wonderful version folks. Love the gradual build up with solos by all players and the final ensemble. Thank you for this. Just watched this again 8 months on, and I love it more every time I hear it. So slow, so deliberate but with so much feeling in the playing. Beautiful. Slow music at its best.
Irish folk music as only the Chinese could play it. Amazing and amazing that they ever heard iIrish music and wanted to play it. They have managed to give it a distinctly Chinese flavour. Well done to all musicians! PS I'm not sure if they are Chinese or Korean but my comments still stand.
I have listen to many different people play this song , but you were my first and none of the other renditions compare. My wife and I always like this one.
This superb tune ought to be the anthem of the UN,,,or at least UNESCO,,,since the whole world seems to love it, This version in a strange way reminds me of the 1957 film by Kon Ichikawa,,,The Harp of Burma,,,the greatest film ever made about WW2, It is the harp that unites them,,, and also the profound redemptive serenity of both the film and this ensemble playing, My admiration for this ensemble is boundless
Ancient Irish music is very popular in Japan - Down by the Salley Gardens was a collosal hit. How interesting! It might be because it reflects a culture based upon purity, integrity and collectivism, rather than the modern capitalist culture of avarice, arrogance and individuality.

My da was from Ballina, I’ve got it in my blood, this version made me tear up

Japanese folk music can be very melancholy like Irish folk music. Very emotional and passionate.
This is one of the reasons why I Love Asian culture. They love every culture. So good. Thank you.
Q: "What does it take to proof that music transcends cultural barriers?"
A: "Five highly talented Asian musicians, an ancient Irish tune about fairies and three pairs of disposable slippers...!"
Hey in an Asian household those disposable slippers will last for decades
@@hotwheelsearl as a british person ignore this man, i have never heard of disposable slippers lmao and they look like normal slippers. We use them for decades too.
This version of Si Bheag Si Mhor by these students is one my all time favorites! You can hear the passion come through their instruments.
Beautiful rendition! I love the Oakland A's cap. Talking about lost battles, we lost our beloved Oakland A's last week to Sacramento where they'll be moving on eventually to Nevada.
"Long long ago in this ancient land
A battle took place where two hills now stand
And on the plain there lay the slain
For neither the battle was won
So the bard did sing of these fairy hills
Where bloom the white flowers and daffodils
One big one small Si Bheag Si Mhor
And never the battle is won"
Magical. I’m Irish and this IS THE BEST :)
I'm American (Italian, Slovak, German) and I love Irish music! Great to see some people of Asian heritage that love it as well!

@@TheDivayenta thank you
WOW! NICE VIOLA WORK! Good to see that those two hills (sheabheg and sheamorr)still shine far and wide of hope and beauty 🙂
Pure magic. I feel that the crusted frost of winter has given way to the sweepings of spring. A new journey begins. Thank you for taking me there. Positively magical.

This is my Goto tune at the moment having heard this tune over 50 years ago it is so bedded in my heart. Want it played at my funeral
Thank you, I am lost in another, and better world!
So perfectly put 🎶

Thank you David your beautiful music is so uplifting every time I. hear you play❤
Brilliant to see such appreciation for Irish (O'Carolan) music.
How simple and how beautiful. Turlough O' Carolan you reach across the years to us. Thank you and thank you who play him.

За столетия эта прекрасная мелодия стала всепланетной! Ребята молодцы! Хорошая интерпретация, отличная работа! Вперед!)
So beautiful… I really enjoy the articulation, not overly dramatic, just adds a little extra flavor. 👍
This is so beautiful! 😍 I've just learned it on the accordion.
What a coincidence! I can play this on the tin whistle and mountain dulcimer.
Just beautiful. Thanks from Ireland.
I love ❤ this music regardless of who plays it well 👌
Half-baked Harpist here loved it!
Great job, guys. Greatest waltz tune ever. Just a beautiful arrangement beautifully played
Wonderful version folks. Love the gradual build up with solos by all players and the final ensemble. Thank you for this.
Just watched this again 8 months on, and I love it more every time I hear it. So slow, so deliberate but with so much feeling in the playing. Beautiful. Slow music at its best.
Lovely performance and melody. Enjoyed the performance.
Exceptional, so soulful. The finale is the reason in sound for living a life of music. Cheers and hearty congratulations.

They're Korean lol
So beautiful. Each of you and together. Thank You for sharing.
beautiful rendition of one of my favorite o'carolan tunes! great job! 😄
So beautiful to see a group of musicians making such amazing music!
Honourarily made it’s way into my Celtic guitar playlist.
But there is no guitar in this ensemble.
@@marvinthemaniac7698 That’s why it’s honorary, an exception.
@@wyattj.sullivant3494 wonderful

lagu kesukaanku ! matur suksma
So beautiful!
Superb 🙂 - Thank you - Musically - Laurent
Wonderful job everyone! Would have loved to see more ensemble playing, maybe some harmony?
Capital idea!
plain magic . ✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔
Is there any better marriage of instruments than fiddle, concertina and whistle. Alright, pipes.
So they are Japanese-Irish? Great combination, Asians are some of the best musicians in the world in my opinion.😁👍
I think they might be from NZ.
Gliss downwards is such a Chinese addition (3.25)
1 like = 1 tear shed for every note played.
Can anyone share names of this Korean group?
Likely just Korean Celtic music enthusiasts having a session. I think I recognize the woman playing concertina.
@@ThisCanBePronounced who is she?
@@marvinthemaniac7698 Wouldn't say that publicly and need a good reason if you wanted to know privately, lol.
Is there a way to get the sheet music for this? I'd love our group to play this. Thanks.
The music for this and thousands of other Irish tunes are available for free download at thesession.org/tunes

Beautifully played but classical musician playing trad irish music.
It is really nice to see non-white people embrace white culture. Thank you.
