Both this tune and Port Eoghan Páraic were composed on the piano on the same day in June 2018. They’re dedicated to my siblings Eoghan and Muireann (I also put their middle names in the titles). I can’t remember many details about what was happening but it was an improvisation, loosely based on what I perceived to be the general way they might have been at the time!
