The Wild Goose

In the Celtic Tradition, the Holy Spirit is represented as a bird. Not an elegant and refined bird, but a wild goose... an untamed creature that is difficult to catch and completely unpredictable. On today's show, hear the United States Marine Band play An Ge Fhiain (The Wild Goose), by Ryan George.
