Sonas Productions presents Ceol ón gCroí, a series of music
documentaries that follows some of Ireland's most noted
singer/song-writers as they each compose a specially commissioned song
defining various events and movements in Ireland's history. We see
top musicians like John Spillane, Pauline Scanlan, Alan Burke, Karan
Casey, Ciarán Ó Gealbháin and Áine Uí Cheallaigh celebrate, through
their music, particular events in Irish history that have inspired them
and many other musicians before them. Using music that already exists
as a source of inspiration, it will be interesting to see how each
singer chooses to interpret and develop their composition that will
include themes such as The Famine and 1916 Easter Rising. The
historical narrative and present-day interpretation of each subject will
be told through interviews, location filming with musical performance
and archive footage. Each journey finishes with our lead musician
unveiling his or her new work and performing it in a way of his or her
own choosing. Other key contributors include Andy Irvine, Roisin White,
Dick Gaughan, Seamus Begley, Johnny McCarthy and Seán Tyrell to name
but a few. Ceol ón gCroí is produced by Sonas Productions for TG4 with funding from the Irish Language Broadcast Fund.
Léiríonn Sonas Productions 'Ceol ón gCroí', sraith nua cheoil ina leanaimid scoth
na gceoltóirí Éireannacha agus iad i mbun amhrán speisialta a chumadh a
chuireann síos ar imeachtaí agus scéaltaí ar leith i stair na hÉireann. Déanann ceoltóirí cailiúla mar John Spillane, Pauline
Scanlan, Alan Burke, Karan Casey, Ciarán Ó Gealbháin agus Áine Uí
Cheallaigh ceiliúradh ar imeachtaí stairiúla a dtéann go mór i bhfeidhm
orthu, mar shampla An Gorta Mór agus Éirí Amach na Cásca 1916. Mar
thobar ionspioráide, breathnaíonn siad ar cheoil atá cumtha ag ceoltóirí
éagsúla cheana féin agus forbraíonn siad amhrán ar na téamaí sin. Inseofar
agus míneofar an scéal stairiúil seo fríd agallaimh, ceol agus
cartlanna físiúla agus ag deireadh achan chlár, cloisimid na píosaí
ceoil úra. I measc na gceoltóirí eile a bhéas le feiceáil sa tsraith
beidh Andy Irvine, Roisin White, Dick Gaughan, Seamus Begley, Johnny
McCarthy and Seán Tyrell. Léiríodh Ceol ón gCroí ag Sonas Productions do TG4 le maoiniú ón Chiste Craoltóireachta Gaeilge.
