An Teaghlach 2 – The Family 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YILFXESbgE4 This is second in a series of Lesson 2 instructional videos in Scottish Gaelic that has been created by Gaelic Affairs -- a branch of the Nova Scotia Department of Communities, Culture, and Heritage. Scottish Gaels have lived in Nova Scotia since the latter half of the 1700s, and Gaelic, although an endangered language, it still spoken in families and communities here.

TURAS DHACHAIDH DO DH’ ALBANNAICH TALAMH AN ÉISG

SCOTTISH NEWFOUNDLANDERS HOMECOMING TOUR - August 2 – 11, 2014 (submitted by Margaret Bennett)

Homecoming Scotland 2014 will see the return of a group of singers and musicians whose Gaelic-speaking forebears left the Isle

of Canna and Moidart in the early 1800s. Invited by the National Trust for Scotland, who sponsor their airfares, they represent

two generations of the remarkable MacArthur family whose songs, music and dances date from the time their people emigrated

to the present day. Among them is Loretta (MacArthur) Cormier, who featured at the opening ceremony to welcome Leabhar

Mòr na Gàidhlig to Canada in 2008. As singer-songwriter with ‘The Cormiers’, Loretta has also featured in several honours lists in

Canada’s prestigious East Coast Music Awards.

Though the new generation now composes in English, they still sing old Gaelic songs from their parents and grandparents. ‘Oran

nam Mogaisean’ (the Moccasin Song), composed by Murdoch MacArthur, recently enjoyed standing ovations at sell-out

performances of “Grit: The Martyn Bennett Story” as this was the same MacArthur family that influenced Martyn as a child. He

lived with their grandparents when his mother, folklorist Margaret Bennett, was recording Gaelic traditions of Newfoundland’s

Codroy Valley. The fieldwork recordings, now spanning four generations, began in 1968 with Allan MacArthur (b. 1884) whom

Bennett describes as ‘the most remarkable tradition-bearer she ever recorded, either side of the Atlantic.’ (Dileab Ailein–The

Legacy of Allan MacArthur: Newfoundland Traditions Across Four Generations, is published by Grace Note Publications with 2

CDs.)

The Homecoming Newfoundlanders still retain the verve of the old fashioned kitchen ceilidh and as fiddle, button melodeon,

mandolin and guitar pass from player to player, these folk know how to have a good time. Their enthusiasm is infections and

while the music may be familiar it is their dancing that folk in the ‘Old Country’ will see a style that has all but faded in Scotland.

Their tour begins and ends with concerts in Perthshire and Laggan to remember Newfoundlanders who died in Scotland during

World War 2, while serving with the Newfoundland Overseas Forestry Unit. You can meet the group at any of the events (listed)

and if you’d like to learn some of their repertoire, there will be workshops during Fèis Chanaidh (August 6 to 10) in Gaelic songs,

fiddle, melodeon and quadrille ‘square sets’, which, according to dancer Frank McConnel, may be as old style any Scottish dance

he has ever seen. In Glenuig and Canna there will also be illustrated talks by Margaret Bennett, tracing emigration from Moidart

and Canna to Newfoundland.

Nova Scotia Gaelic has its origins in Scottish Gaelic and, like Irish Gaelic and Manx, is a branch of the family of Celtic languages. It has been spoken in our province since at least 1773 and is rich in cultural expression through song, traditional fiddle and pipe music, step dancing, storytelling as well as customs and beliefs. NS Gaelic continues to make

cultural, social, educational and economic contributions to Nova Scotia society.
