Do you have any in...Thanks for the comment, Frank.<br /><br />Do you have any information about published sources for this? Either links, or names / publishers of books where it was included?<br /><br />There's a claim in Mudcat cafe (http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=69609) that someone called Tomás Breathnach set the text to tune POKAREKARE ANA. <br /><br />There's another claim later in the thread that Br. Frank Keegan (d approx 1992) from Drimnagh Castle School Dublin, composed the Irish version.<br /><br />I know that I've seen a reference to the text existing long before it was set to the tune - but I didn't write down the reference at the time and cannot find it again.Editor, GodSongs.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722732061854286556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170863882017712417.post-4947534605502656342016-08-22T04:03:39.099-07:002016-08-22T04:03:39.099-07:00The hymn A Mhuire Mhathair, was composed by Brothe...The hymn A Mhuire Mhathair, was composed by Brother Kevin Ambrose O'NEILL, 1919-2007.
