The Eagle's Whistle - Fead an lolair - arranged by Helen Davies and Aibhlín McCrann. In this book there are many ensemble arrangements of lullabies and some harp airs.

Lullabies (suantraí or sleep music) are an integral part of the harp tradition in Ireland, and according to the ancient myths, one of the three gifts attributed to a harper: when he played a suantraí, everyone around him fell into a deep slumber. A lullaby is also one of the first songs that a mother will croon to her baby. Each of the lullabies is from the Irish tradition, except for one (T àladh Chríosda) from Scotland.

The three harp airs we have included are regularly played by harpers, two by Turlough Carolan celebrating his patrons, and the third, a lyrical tune heard also in the Scottish tradition, composed by the Oriel harper, Patrick McAlinden in honour of the beautiful Eibhlí.
