Cailleach na Mointeach | Orchestrated

Olá! Esse é meu cover do cântico "Senhora do Inverno" para a Deusa Celta e Galesa Cailleach que é a Deusa celta/galesa do Inverno! O que tem tudo a ver com nosa atual estação e também tudo a ver com o sabbat que se aproxima do solstício de inverno: Yule! Essa linda canção é popular em portugal e passada de mãe pra filha, portanto não tenho informações de sua autoria, sendo basicamente de domínio público! Apreciem sem moderação!

Quem quiser me acompanhar no instagram meu user é @Ofabiodean 

Letra:

Ó que lindo manto tem ai, a Senhora do Inverno
É feito com luz das estrelas, bordado com gelo eterno

A semente no Yule dorme sobre a terra fria
Sonhar ser fruta madura enquanto a roda gira

Cai a neve sobre os campos ai, fia-se a lã à lareira
Contamos histórias antigas, sobre a moral de Cideira

Lá no alto da montanha ai, vive a águia e o falcão
Procuram vida na terra que está em hibernação

Obs: Encontrei a letra com a frase "sobre a moral de Cideira" porém desconfio fortemente que o correto seja "Cidreira", uma cidade de portugal.

Cailleach, Senhora Do Inverno

Step into the storm with Orla Callan’s haunting Celtic ballad of the Cailleach, the Winter Queen of Irish folklore. Known as the shaper of mountains and bringer of storms, the Cailleach rules the cold with her staff of frost.

This song blends Riverdance-style rhythm with ethereal Enya-inspired harmonies, bringing ancient myth to life through music. Let the bodhrán drums and layered vocals carry you into the timeless lore of Ireland.

🌿 About the Song:
The Cailleach is one of the most powerful figures in Celtic mythology. She brings winter’s bite, carves the land with stone and storm, and stands as the eternal counterbalance to Brigid, the goddess of spring.

✨ If you love Celtic myth, folklore, and music that connects to the old stories, this track is for you.

From the mountain, winds are born,
Snow and ice, the land is worn.
Rivers freeze, the valleys sleep,
Secrets of the hills she keeps.

Hear the drum, let the echoes fly,
Voices rise to the darkened sky.
Winter queen, through the night we stand,
Cailleach shapes both sea and land.

Stone and thunder mark her reign,
Shadows sweep across the plain.
Through the mist her power flows,
In her hand the cold wind blows.

Hear the drum, let the echoes fly,
Voices rise to the darkened sky.
Winter queen, through the night we stand,
Cailleach shapes both sea and land.

Winter queen, oh guide our song,
Drums of earth will keep us strong.

Hear the drum, let the echoes fly,
Voices rise to the darkened sky.
Winter queen, through the night we stand,
Cailleach shapes both sea and land.

Winter queen, oh guide our song,
Drums of earth will keep us strong.

Cailleach – Song of the Winter Queen (Celtic Lore)

She is the blue spark in every frigid snowflake. She is the smothering white veil of the blizzard. She is the mountain and the whirlpool, the deep black slumber and the blinding reflection. She is your own bones, blanched by the unfathomable power of Time.

She is The Cailleach.

∞∞∞ LYRICS ∞∞∞

I’m The Cailleach, Cailleach Bhéara.
I walk the earth and make it snow.
I’m the Crone who’s sleeping on your doorstep
in the deepest dark you’ll ever know.

I’m the crack of ice beneath your footfall.
I’m the Cockerel crowing Winter morn.
In my lap I foster generations.
Seven tribes my wrinkled back has borne.

I rule the lightless!
I drop stones to raise mountains high.
I bring the wind and the storm.
I spot the Truth with my all-seeing eye.

When the Hag comes scratching at your window,
when the Bean Sídhe wails outside your door,
do not fear the singing of the night wraith.
Come outside and walk the windy moor!

I have no beginning;
count your own bones to figure my age.
I am the Stonehearted Sage.
The sleeping land needs my comfort
and my rage!

I was born old,
and young I’ll die again and again!
The delicious cold inside of me
hates the warm time that signals my end.

I wail and I rage at the close of each age,
as the skin on my hands starts to crack.
My facade peels away and I’m lost to bright day.
The Spring Maiden steals my power,
until I take it back!

The Cailleach is restless. The year is waning, and she has much to do. She blinks her cracked blue eye, points her gnarled finger, and smiles. At what? The Snow knows. The White Wolf knows. The Maelstrom knows.

Aye.

The Tale Of Coire Bhreachain

I’m Orla Callan, a singer-songwriter from Dublin with a love for blending ethereal sounds, folk, and world music. Growing up with musician parents, music has always been my compass. I’m inspired by my Irish roots, travels, and the stories I find along the way. My songs are about exploring the world, embracing its beauty, and getting lost in the magic of sound.

Ceol Sidhe is the married musical duo of Diane Rains (aka Crow Bard) and Stu Janis. [How do you say our name? "Kyohl SHEE"]

The Irish Good Folk (known also as "fairies") make astonishing music, called "ceol Sidhe" in Gaeilge, the Irish language. Bewitching, alluring, sometimes a little dangerous! It travels on the wind and lands where it will.

The music of Ceol Sidhe duo explores and celebrates the beauty and mystery of fairy music. We sing of the vast splendor of stars. Of an enchanting island hidden in magical mist. Of ancient goddesses and the alluring realm of Fairy. We sing of hearts both human and Fae.

A small note on my own behalf: I have noticed that my playback figures have dropped dramatically. The statistics show that the number of playbacks has dropped from 2000 per week to just under 200.
On the one hand, this is frustrating, as everyone sees this as an indicator and confirmation of their work. On the other hand, figures are not particularly important, but one wonders what is wrong. In my opinion, SC has changed a lot, uploading tracks has become more complicated and constant security queries are annoying.
In addition, great artists are disappearing from the platform, partly by their own choice, partly because they have been banned, the algorithm has “recognized” them as spam and mercilessly deleted their account. I'm still a paying member, but my attitude towards this has changed...

Please let me know your experiences and impressions.

When I don't have the time to actively listen to my favorite artists on soundcloud, I just leave the stream running...while washing up in the kitchen, for example 😆

********************************************************************

A long, long time ago, there was an organ in the Christmas-decorated living room in his parents' house, where Frank grew up. Originally bought by his father for his two older siblings, they showed no interest in playing the organ. Frank, however, did. White and black keys and giving off strange sounds. 

So at the age of 9 he began to let his fingers circle on this instrument, searching for the right keys like on a typewriter. And another 9 years would pass before he could buy his first own instrument. Already at the age of 13 he made notes about the then current synthesizers, bought one magazine after the other and visited music fairs in Frankfurt, Germany.

His first keyboard was the Yamaha DSR-2000, which he bought in a music store near his hometown Biebertal. In installments! Finally he could develop himself further - away from the limited tonality of the small organ. The built-in 8-track sequencer helped him to reach unimagined heights. 
Little by little his equipment expanded and his ambition to create music like that of Jean-Michel Jarres came closer. Influenced by this and countless other musicians of the time, his interest grew, but he taught himself everything. Not even having attended a music school or being able to read music at all, he wrote one song after another and recorded them on the only medium available to him at the time: audio cassettes.
Many of these recordings are unfortunately lost forever, because cassettes are and were not the best recording medium. He has to try to play many of his songs from memory. 

In 2007, he fulfilled a long-awaited wish: to buy a KORG. He had always wanted to own one, but with the latest synthesizers at the time of their release having a purchase price of over 6000 D-marks (the currency of the time in the 1980s and 1990s), that dream of owning one was far away. So in 2007 he bought a used KORG 01W/FD at ebay. And as before with the purchase of the Yamaha keyboard, a completely new world opened up to him.

In addition, there were expanders and sound modules from Kawai, Roland and Yamaha (K1m, SC-55, QY10). Six years later his enthusiasm for making music ebbed and rediscovered his hobby (which it always was and still is). In 2018 in April he decided to present his music to a wider audience and uploaded his first song on the platform soundcloud. Since that time, thanks also to the ever-evolving software, he continues to evolve, experiment and relive his times through music.
