I have adapted phrases from a Bealtaine ritual song that Maggi and I wrote together for our book, The Measure of the Year: Singing Through the Seasons
This is an unusual canon in that the intervals of imitation change halfway through. For the first half, each following voice imitates a step lower. Beginning with the upper voice in measure six, each following voice imitates a step higher.
The title, Dlí Bealtaine is Gaeilge (Irish) for Beltane Canon.
