music of the mystery

March 12, 2016

Port na bPúcaí (Music of the Fairies) is a haunting song that I heard played by the fiddler Rebecca Grube. I was very moved by her rendition of this piece from the Blasket Islands. One story is that the tune was a response to the singing of the fairies, which may have been the songs of the humpback whales. I love that the source was a mystery that called forth such a beautiful response. I feel this reflects the creative process, when we sense a calling, not knowing where it came from or where it might lead, and yet we follow.
