  • The O'Neill dynasty.. or Ó Néill, is a group of families, ultimately all of Irish Gaelic origin, that have held prominent positions and titles in Ireland and elsewhere. As Chiefs of Cenél nEógain, they are historically the most prominent family of the Northern Uí Néill, along with the O'Donnell and O'Doherty. The O'Neills hold that their ancestors were Kings of Ailech during the Early Middle Ages, as descendants of Niall of the Nine Hostages. A number of their progenitors and members are named as High Kings of Ireland, such as Niall Glúndub (from whom they take their name) and Domnall ua Néill. From 1185 until 1616, the O'Neills were sovereign Kings of Tír Eógain, holding territories in the north of Ireland; particularly around what is today County Tyrone. After their realm was merged with the Kingdom of Ireland and the land was caught up in the Plantation of Ulster, they were involved in a number of significant events, such as Tyrone's Rebellion, the Flight of the Earls, the Irish Rebellion of 1641 and the Irish Confederate Wars.

    I think this is Seán Ó Riada's arrangement of this great old march... Mighty shtuff.

      Yes, it's played by the band that Ó Riada led, called Ceoltóirí Chualann (Chualann Musicians, Chualann being a district of Dublin) and recorded in March 1969 at the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin. It's on the 1970 album Ó Riada sa Gaiety, which someone kindly linked below.

    Pity there’s no mention or credit given for the actual piece of music used as backing to the video i.e. arrangement by Seán Ó Riada and recorded with Ceoltóirí Chualann.

    This is a cavalry march. I always hear a troop of cavalry starting a a trot and thundering in a full gallop by the end.

    Tá an fonn Éireannach seo 500 bliain d’aois agus treoraíonn clan O’Neill Uladh i gCath.
    Níl aon fhianaise againn go raibh tionchar aige ar JS Bach, Mozart nó Wagner, ach nuair a theith na Géanna Fiáine chun na hEorpa is dócha gur thug siad a gcuid ceoil leo chuig na reisimintí inar fhreastail siad.
    This Irish tune is 500 years old and lead the O’Neill clan of Ulster into Battle.
    We’ve no evidence that it influenced JS Bach, Mozart or Wagner, but when the Wild Geese fled to Europe they probably took their music with them to the regiments in which they served.

    The most rousing tune in the world, up there with Óró Sé do bheatha 'bhaile in song! I want a war to match it. This should be the Brexit/No Border in Ireland resistance tune of the Irish people. Éirigí a mhuintir; sa bhliain 2019, tá ár saoirse os ár gcomhair ina dhiaidh na gcéadta. Ní bheimid faoi chois go deo.

    I always wondered why this was a cavalry march since more often than not drums are seen as too awkward for mounted troops.

      This is Sean O'Orada's arrangement/interpretation of the cavalry march, ofc it isn't exactly like a conventional cavalry march, especially since it has tralee gaol in the middle of the tune

    • @KonoShunkan
      @KonoShunkan Před 3 lety +7

      The Horslips used the tune from this as the riff for Dearg Doom. This is from 1969, but the tune of course is much older.

      Not really known. It's usually attributed to have been played by pipers in Owen Roe O'Neill's army in the 1640s.

      Mac Allistrum's March is from the same period. These are great examples of the old Gaelic order girding itself for a last fight. Damn! I'm inspired now, over 300 hundred years later. Imagine what impact they would have had then!
