Is that the Poolbeg flasher beyant, pharphar, or a fireboat coasting nyar the Kishtna or a glow I behold within a hedge or my Garry come back from the Indes? Wait till the honeying of the lune, love! Die eve, little eve, die! We see that wonder in your eye. We'll meet again, we'll part once more. The spot I'll seek if the hour you'll find. My chart shines high where the blue milk's upset. Forgivemequick, I'm going! Bubye! And you, pluck your watch, forgetmenot. Your evenlode. So save to jurna's end! My sights are swimming thicker on me by the sha- dows to this place. I sow home slowly now by own way, moy- valley way. Towy I too, rathmine. Ah, but she was the queer old skeowsha anyhow, Anna Livia, trinkettoes! And sure he was the quare old buntz too, Dear Dirty Dumpling, foostherfather of fingalls and dotthergills. Gammer and gaffer we're all their gangsters. Hadn't he seven dams to wive him? And every dam had her seven crutches. And every crutch had its seven hues. And each hue had a differing cry. Sudds for me and supper for you and the doctor's bill for Joe John. Befor! Bifur! He married his markets, cheap by foul, I know, like any Etrurian Catholic Heathen, in their pinky limony creamy birniesand their turkiss indienne mauves. But at milkidmass who was the spouse? Then all that was was fair. Tys Elvenland! Teems of times and happy returns. The seim anew. Ordovico or viricordo. Anna was, Livia is, Plurabelle's to be. Northmen's thing made southfolk's place but howmulty plurators made eachone in person? Latin me that, my trinity scholard, out of eure sanscreed into oure eryan! Hircus Civis Eblanensis! He had buckgoat paps on him, soft ones for orphans. Ho, Lord! Twins of his bosom. Lord save us! And ho! Hey? What all men. Hot? His tittering daugh- ters of. Whawk? Can't hear with the waters of. The chittering waters of. Flitter-ing bats, fieldmice bawk talk. Ho! Are you not gone ahome? What Thom Malone? Can't hear with bawk of bats, all thim liffey-ing waters of. Ho, talk save us! My foos won't moos. I feel as old as yonder elm. A tale told of Shaun or Shem? All Livia's daughter-sons. Dark hawks hear us. Night! Night! My ho head halls. I feel as heavy as yonder stone. Tell me of John or Shaun? Who were Shem and Shaun the living sons or daughters of? Night now! Tell me, tell me, tell me, elm! Night night! Telmetale of stem orstone. Beside the rivering waters of, hitherandthithering waters of. Night!

Lady Marmela 04:26
Lady Marmela Short-bred will walk in for supper with her marchpane switch on, her necklace of almonds and her poirette Sundae dress with bracelets of honey and her cochineal hose with the caramel dancings, the briskly best from Bootiestown, and her suckingstaff of ivory-mint. You mustn't miss it or you'll be sorry. Charmeuses chloes, glycering juwells, lydialight fans and puffumed cynarettes. And the Prince Le Monade has been graciously pleased. His six choco-late pages will run bugling before him and Cococream toddle after with his sticksword in a pink cushion. We think His Spark-ling Headiness ought to know Lady Marmela. Luisome his for lissome hers. He's not going to Cork till Cantalamesse or may-hope till Rose Easter or Saint Tibble's Day. So Niomon knows. The Fomor's in his Fin, the Momor's her and hin. A paaralone! A paaralone! And Dublin's all adin. We'll sing a song of Single-month and you'll too and you'll. Here are notes. There's the key. One two three. Chours! So come on, ye wealthy gentrymen wib- frufrocksfull of fun! Thin thin! Thin thin! Thej olly and thel ively, thou billy with thee coo, for to jog a jig of a crispness nice and sing a missal too. Hip champouree! Hiphip champouree! O you longtailed blackman, polk it up behind me! Hip champouree! Hiphip champouree! And, jessies, push the pumkik round. Anne-liuia!

Anno Domini nostri sancti Jesu Christi Nine hundred and ninetynine million pound sterling in the blueblack bowels of the bank of Ulster. Braw bawbees and good gold pounds, galore, my girleen, a Sunday'll prank thee finely. And no damn loutll come courting thee or by the mother of the Holy Ghost there'll be murder! O, come all ye sweet nymphs of Dingle beach to cheer Brinabride queen from Sybil surfriding In her curragh of shells of daughter of pearl and her silverymonnblue mantle round her. Crown of the waters, brine on her brow, she'll dance them a jig and jilt them fairly. Yerra, why would she bide with Sig Sloomysides or the grogram grey barnacle gander? You won't need be lonesome, Lizzy my love, when your beau gets his glut of cold meat and hot soldiering Nor wake in winter, window machree, but snore sung in my old Balbriggan surtout. Wisha, won't you agree now to take me from the middle, say, of next week on, for the balance of my days, for nothing (what?) as your own nursetender? A power of highsteppers died game right enough — but who, acushla, 'll beg coppers for you? I tossed that one long before anyone. It was of a wet good Friday too she was ironing and, as I'm given now to understand, she was always mad gone on me. Grand goosegreasing we had entirely with an allnight eiderdown bed picnic to follow. By the cross of Cong, says she, rising up Saturday in the twilight from under me, Mick, Nick the Maggot or whatever your name is, you're the mose likable lad that's come my ways yet from the barony of Bohermore.

about

‘Finnegans Wake - Suite Of Affections’ - named because of a phrase on page 432 of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake: ’to share our hard suite of affections with thee’.
This is my suite of affections. I recorded top Irish theatre and film actors speaking extracts that I chose from Joyce's work, to which I then composed music.
There are pages in my view that light up world literature like flares, only to be lost again in the darkness soon after.

The performances bring out the great humour and dark lyricism in Joyce’s work, and the music ranges through many styles without blinking an eyelid.

This Finnegans Wake - Suite Of Affections Volume 2 released March 2023 at the James Joyce Centre, Dublin. Panels 2 and 5 above taken at this.

The texts are spoken by Derbhle Crotty (1, 6, 9), Ronan Wilmot (2), Rory Connolly (4, 6), Rosaleen Linehan (5), Lisa Dwan (7); Vyvienne Long (8), Niall Gaffney (6, 10), Barry McGovern (12, 14, 15), Mary Costelloe, shadowed by text to speech software (11), Isobel Mahon (bonus track 16 - download only); and instrumental tracks (3, 13).
Hugh O'Neill plays trumpet on tracks 1, 8, 13, 15.

"What I enjoy most about Doyle's music is how utterly omnivorous he is in his influences. A track is as likely to be modal as atonal, jagged as it is dance, gently as it is punshy, and you're never quite sure whether it will stay that way. You can hear the club and the concert hall and the jazz cafe"...The Journal Of Music April 2023.
