Listen to a haunting century-old Irish lullaby

The Choral Scholars of University College Dublin performs a gorgeous Irish lullaby that dates from 1904.

"The Gartan Mother's Lullaby" was included in an early-20th-century collection of ballads collected in northern Ireland. The song's lyrics make reference to fairies and Gaelic mythology.
