Harp Day Schools’ Resource Pack
To celebrate Lá na Cruite|Harp Day, we continue our resource pack series where students of all ages can learn more about their national instrument. The resource pack includes the story of Brian Boru’s Harp, a short history of the harp and a related worksheet, 2 crosswords, a quiz, the life of Turlough Carolan, the story of The Dagda and his Magical Harp, 3 colouring pages and an audio file of the story. All are available to download in both English and Irish language versions.
The story of The Dagda and his Magical Harp is one of the oldest harp legends in Irish mythology. The story has been adapted by Aibhlín McCrann. Actor Nuala Hayes narrates it in English and in Irish. Original music and effects have been kindly provided by harper-composer Triona Marshall and Cormac de Barra.
Lá na Cruite|Harp Day is funded by the Arts Council, an Chomhairle Ealaíon and the Heritage Council.
