Many are the Cries and Shrieks of Woe

from On the Shoulders of the Great Bear by Andrew Cronshaw

/

about

Jenny Wilhelms, like the others in her band Gjallarhorn, is Finlands-Svensk - a member of the 6% Swedish speaking minority in Finland, who mainly live on the west coast or the Åland archipelago and whose traditions have strong links across the Gulf of Bothnia. This is her take on a Scottish Gaelic lament I hummed to her.

'Many are the cries and shrieks of woe' (’Slionar eubh’ agus iolach) is from Patrick McDonald’s 1784 'Collection of Highland Vocal Airs'.
