Fhear a’ Bhata: 3 Gaelic Songs for Soprano Voice was commissioned by Holly from Cliff Hernandez for this recital. Wanting to sing a set of Scottish Gaelic songs but having trouble finding classical music written in the language, Holly approached Cliff last fall in the hopes he might arrange three existing folk tunes in Scottish Gaelic, and he rose to the challenge! Holly also received IPA translation and coaching from Dr. Tearlach Wilson, who has a Ph.D. in Gaelic and resides on the Isle of Lewis.
