Tradition Now: Neil Ó Lochlainn’s Immram

mmram is a suite of poems by Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, first published in her collection ‘Feis’ (1991).

The music combines influences from Irish traditional music and the sean-nós singing tradition, jazz/improvised music, and contemporary classical music to create an innovative, post-genre style of contemporary Irish chamber music.

‘Immram’ roughly translates as ‘Voyage’ and is a genre of story found commonly in mythological Irish writing, describing a protagonist’s sea journey to the otherworld and the adventures that ensue during their voyage.
