I'm glad I didn't listen to this till after Christmas, on a dark, rainy, windy day - most of these while beautiful are also sad or mournful. They put me in mind of how I am an orphan in my family, as the four people I knew from birth are all dead, as is my husband. This I never suspected would be, though some wise soul from one of the old cultures represented here would have laughed at me and said, "what did you think would happen, you being the youngest?" But the Scots Gaelic tune is my favourite, since I can imagine ancestors singing something like it.

I learned this from a piece of written music. Bizarre. Potter: "People do that sort of thing, I suppose." It was natural. Fifty singers helped. Peace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo5osogX7Wk
