Òran an Ròin | A Gaelic Seal's Lament on the Shores of Skye

Immerse yourself in the haunting beauty of Oran an Roin ("The Seal's Song"), performed on the windswept shores of the Isle of Skye. Join cellist Riccardo Pes and Gaelic singer Alice Ballance as they bring this traditional ballad to life against Skye’s dramatic coastline. The song tells the sorrowful story of a seal mourning its kin, reflecting the deep connection—and conflict—between humans and nature. 📍 Filmed near Glasnakille, this performance blends music, landscape, and storytelling: 🎶 Alice’s voice carries the seal’s lament, wrapped in a handcrafted cloak inspired by the sea 🎻 Riccardo’s cello echoes the waves, with harmonies that mirror seal calls 🌬 The natural sounds of wind, waves, and birds weave into the music This project was made possible with public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England. 🚂Follow https://www.riccardopesmusic.com/musi... ⚡️Instagram:   / riccardopes_music   ⚡️Facebook   / riccardopesvioloncello
