Gaelscoil Aonach Urmhumhan, Co. Thiobraid Árann

‘Scéal na Beatha’ – The Story of Life, performed by the 31-strong Grúpa Ceoil na Gaelscoile. Primary Finalist in the 2020 Waltons Music for Schools Competition. In approaching the 2020 Competition theme – ‘Where words fail, music speaks’ – teachers and students at Gaelscoil Aonach Urmhumhan decided to focus on how music provides a backdrop or ‘soundtrack’ to our lives – from birth through all of life’s major milestones. They also decided to keep their entry entirely instrumental and allow their pieces to ‘speak for themselves’ as instantly recognisable melodies. The opening of their piece portrays the new life of a musician with Brahms’ ‘Lullaby’. ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ then provides an opportunity for the youngest musicians to shine as they embark on their musical journeys. ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ depicts childhood hopes, dreams, imagination and fantasy. ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ is an anthem of adolescent rebellion that has everyone rocking. ‘The Diamond Waltz’ changes the tone to portray the now grown-up child leaving the nest and heading to college, tinged with sadness, loneliness and insecurity. And ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ finishes the piece with an anthem for optimism, self-belief, hope and opportunity.
