IMRAM Féile Litríochta Gaeilge

Iomann siansach don chrann agus gach gné de is ea Tree de chuid Richard Berengarten, dán fada a tharraingíonn ar Chrann na Beatha sa Chabála, agus an t-ionad lárnach atá ag an gcrann i dtraidisiúin spioradálta ar fud an domhain. Tá Nick Roth tar éis an leagan Gaeilge de a rinne Gabriel Rosenstock a chur in oiriúint do chór guthanna leis na hamhránaithe Caitríona O’Leary, Michelle O’Rourke agus Olesya Zdorovetska.

Richard Berengarten’s poem Tree is a symphonic hymn to a tree in all its aspects, drawing on its sacred and central place in the world’s mythology, history and religion. Commissioned by IMRAM in 2020, Gabriel Rosenstock’s Irish language translation of the poem Crann was first presented as a film directed by Laura Hilliard. This expanded version of Crann Mór for nine voices, percussion and film sees the upper voices of Chamber Choir Ireland and conductor David Young join the original vocal trio in a new live staging, directed by Adrian Dunbar.

Supported by The Arts Council of Ireland, Foras na Gaeilge and Dublin City Council Arts Office.
