M'óenurán im aireclán (I Am Alone in My Little Oratory) - Old Irish Poem

Описание: A serene and introspective musical setting of an early medieval Old Irish poem attributed to a monk or hermit. The piece captures the quiet, contemplative mood of solitude within a small chapel (aireclán). The lyrics express a tranquil acceptance of isolation and simple devotion, finding peace in seclusion despite the lack of sunlight. The music would be sparse and atmospheric, likely using drone-like tones and a plainchant-inspired melody to evoke the timeless, meditative space of early Celtic Christian spirituality.

This short, poignant poem is a classic example of early Irish monastic lyric. It speaks from the perspective of a solitary devotee in their small stone oratory. The key sentiment is contentment in holy isolation: the speaker states they will be neither "gloomy" (duba) nor "blue/sad" (gorm) as long as they exist in this world, despite receiving little sunlight (becán de gréin) in their enclosed cell. It reflects the ascetic ideal of finding spiritual warmth and sufficiency in God's presence, separate from the world.

Full Original Old Irish Text:
M'óenurán im aireclán,
is becán de gréin;
ním·bia duba, ním·bia gorm,
céin bía for bith n-ane.

Full English Translation:
I am alone in my little oratory,
It is little of sunlight;
I shall not be gloomy, I shall not be blue,
As long as I am on this one world.
