Michele McLaughlin: Sheet Music

The ancient Celts worshiped the sun and built monuments and tombs to celebrate their faith in the Sun God. Examples would include Stonehenge in England, and Newgrange in Ireland. The Summer Solstice, or midsummer, is the longest day of the year and a day heavily celebrated by the Celts. This song tells the story of the Sun God's journey across the sky on the Summer Solstice, starting at sunrise, peaking at it's highest point, and then back down to sunset.
