Style and creation
The song was written by Chrigel Glanzmann and David Stifter. Glanzmann composed the music and the text was written by the Viennese Celtologist David Stifter. The melodies are strongly based on Celtic and Irish folk songs and are presented with traditional instruments, such as the use of tin whistle , Scottish bagpipe , fiddle , mandola , mandolin , uilleann pipes , bodhrán or hurdy-gurdy .
In contrast to the two previous albums Spirit and Slania , Anna Murphy does the vocals for the most part. The two songs are written in Gallic .
