Margaret and Martyn Bennett - Griogal Cridhe (Glen Lyon's Lament) video free download

Mary Swope

One of the greatest laments in Gaelic, words and music, heart-rending, especially as delivered by Margaret Bennett and her gifted, son, whose life and music we celebrate even as we lament his untimely passing.

Right you are. I have written a lament for Martyn for the Scottish pipes. Maybe one day, when I have a burst of confidence, I'll I'll make a video, and post it to my channel here. I also don't have pipes right now that play in the proper key for the tune. I need pipes in A, but only have pipes in high D right now. The lament just isn't right in the key of D.

I would lament for the loss of Martyn Bennett. God bless his soul.

Fot those non-Gaidheals, It's a woman lamenting that her beloved Gregor is missing, that he has been executed and she is being forced to marry the Baron of Dall. Hauntingly beautiful song. Unfortunately I used to live in Dall... I almost feel guilty when I hear this song!

@TouchofHeartMusic what a lament is supposed to be.

Beautiful, but heart-breaking. Even though i don't understand the language, the pain is obvious through the voices.

To those that don't know, Griogal (Gregor) Cridhe (Heart), She's saying "Beloved Gregor"
