Ireland and Scotland may be separated by the North Channel but they are also linked by a stream of inter-Celtic partnerships, leagues, festivals and initiatives. Allt, a collaborative album by two Celtic music power couples, is a grand example of this movement, a collection of new tunes put to old and new poetry in Irish and Scottish Gaelic—minority languages in their own lands that might have become more endangered if their speakers and especially artists didn’t offer constant mutual encouragement. The creators of this splendid recording are: From Inverness, Julie Fowlis, one of the great voices of Scottish song, and her Irish-born husband Éamon Doorley, master of bouzouki and fiddle; and from County Louth, Irish fiddle and classical violin virtuoso Zoë Conway and husband John Mc Intyre, a renowned traditional guitarist. Primary talents aside, this is a renaissance album on which everyone reaches higher, all composing, all singing, all bestowing added value on songs of cheer and woe, sometimes intertwined—as in Faoiseamh a Gheobhadsa (I Will Find Solace), with the reassuring phrase “among my people” that may stand for family or community (video 1). Mourning connects the Celtic realms in Piuthrag Nam Piuth’r (Sister, My Sister), bearing cruel tidings from Ireland to Scotland (video 2). The pace quickens delightfully in the medley Na Hù Bhithinn/Hò Rò Na Priobaidean (I Would Be…/The Trifling Things), about a girl who runs off with a soldier and some frivolous gifts that may have larger meaning based on their provenance (video 3). Joy almost aches in the a cappella An tEarrach Thiar (Spring in the West, video 4), bulging with the season’s sounds, sights and sensations. Spring is also an apt symbol for the new season of Scottish Gaelic and Irish, with the artists of Allt and kindred projects nourishing the currents of linguistic tides. (Machair Records)
