The course will also study the historical and social contexts of the songs, together with discussions about the composers, their backgrounds and the influence of political, social and cultural circumstances at the time on their work. At the end of the course students will have a small repertoire of Gaelic songs.
This course is open to all students who have an interest in Gaelic songs and students are not required to have experience of singing on stage.
