The wexford carols caitriona s research


The Wexford Carols is a 2014 album of traditional Irish carols by Caitríona O'Leary featuring guest singers Tom Jones, Rosanne Cash and Carolina Chocolate Drops singer Rhiannon Giddens produced by Joe Henry. The carol texts are mainly taken from the collections by Bishop Luke Wadding (1684) and Father William Devereux (1728). In the case of Devereux's carols, the tunes were not indicated, so O'Leary matched surviving folk tunes fitting the poems. The song "The Darkest Midnight" was learned from the 1982 album Darkest Midnight by singer Nóirín Ní Riain and the monks of Glenstal Abbey. The album went to No.1 on the Billboard World Albums Chart.
