The Foggy Dew - Celtic Ocarina

Here's a traditional Irish ballad on a 12-hole Bb ocarina made by Oberon Ocarinas :D This one is named Bootis, stone burnished, saggar-fired white earthenware. The light fog and the dewey woods was the perfect setting for this tune :) Cinematography by Nadine Dorin

They say he carved it himself, out of a bigger ocarina.

Enchanting. Tale is that if you play this song long enough, you wind up encircled by dancing fae.

Gorgeous!! Love that you've kept the sounds of the forest in the background - really adds to it

**LYRICS**


As down the glen one Easter morn
To a city fair rode I
There armed lines of marching men
In squadrons passed me by
No fife did hum, no battle drum
Did sound its dred tattoo
But the Angelus bells o'er the Liffey's swell
Rang out through the foggy dew


Right proudly high over Dublin town
They hung out the flag of war
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky
Than at Suvla or Sud el Bar
And from the plains of Royal Meath
Strong men came hurrying through
While Brittania's Huns with their long-range guns
Sailed in through the foggy dew


'Twas Brittania bade our wild geese go
That small nation's might be free
But their lonely graves are by Suvla's waves
On the shore of the gray North Sea
But had they died by Pearse's side
Or fought with Cathal Brugha
Their names we would keep where the Fenians sleep
'Neath the shroud of the foggy dew


But the bravest fell, and the requiem bell
Rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide
In the springing of the year
And the world did gaze in deep amaze
At those fearless men, but few
Who bore the fight that freedom's light
Might shine through the foggy dew

I'm looking for musical references for themes for my characters and this fits the main character so well! Thank you so much for playing and uploading this! <3

You are the reason I’m buying my first ocarina. It’s a little cheap one off of Amazon and I know it won’t be the best but I want to see if the urge to play stays long enough for me but a good one.

I can only imagine going out camping and sitting around a burnt out campfire, watching the sun rise on an old log and playing the most gentle and beautiful songs well into mid day, as the sun warms my skin.

[ezrahackman]

Exactly what I was looking for thankyou

[pavonine]

Wow this sounds ethereal and beautiful! Thank you💙

Me who is a Zelda fan and just clicked on it because I saw the word Ocarina. For real though this sounded majestic especially with the forest in the background.

[irishmusico]

So I am sitting here in Tenerife going through the sounds on my digital piano and this one says Ocarina. I'm thinking what is an Ocarina? So I googled it and there you are playing the Foggy Dew in a forest making me homesick lol. love it. Nice one pal.
