Description

Amhrán is Fiche don Nollaig

On Amhrán is Fiche don Nollaig(“Twenty-one Christmas Songs”), three well-known singers from three different Gaeltachts: Méabh Ní Bheaglaoich, Síle Denvir and Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh sing twenty-one traditional Christmas songs in Irish. The format is similar to our two other titles, Amhrán is Fiche and Amhrán is Fiche Eile: the words of the song are visible on screen, with a little ball bouncing along highlighting the words that are being sung; there are backing tracks to enable you to sing the song karaoke style; there are English translations to the words available on the CD; there is a facility to print out the lyrics; and there are sample lesson plans for teachers illustrating ways in using the songs in a class room. As well as that, there are notes on every song and a glossary of rare or unusual words and sources.
