    Taking Flight Audio CD comes with a beautiful tri-fold, Eco-Wallet two pocket case, of both full color and black and white images, liner notes, lyrics, and details about the music for this project.

    On "Taking Flight," Amelia Hogan sings both traditional and contemporary folk music with lilting grace and subtlety. Weaving a mysterious old magic, Hogan transports her listeners out of time and place with haunting melodies and evocative storytelling. The 16-track album features one original (the title track), which is a joyous a cappella number in four-part harmony, a number of traditional, public domain songs, and interpretations of songs by contemporary
    songwriters including Laurie Lewis, Lankum, David Francey, Anais Mitchell, and Jez Lowe. Photos: Venee Call-Ferrer

    Produced by Hogan at Foxtail Sound in Dixon, CA, with celebrated musicians Ray Frank (co-producer), Richard Mandel, David Brewer, Christa Burch, Rebecca Richman, Maureen Brennan, and Marla Fibish, Taking Flight is a cathartic and healing endeavor. Songs were chosen to acknowledge grief, loss, heartache, hope, and ultimately a joy-filled conclusion. The theme of birds runs through the project. Often seen as a symbol of loss and sorrow, birds also represent hope and healing and the ability to find beauty in the midst of hardship. The intent of this work is to take the listener on a journey through grief and out the other side, as a bird taking flight might.

    Hogan shared, "For many of us, the few years since the spring of 2020 have been full of grief and loss, between death, illness, cultural changes, and unprecedented political upheaval. It feels as if nothing has been left untouched. As I worked through these feelings in my own life, I kept returning to singing and sharing songs related to birds as solace, comfort, and inspiration. No matter how much we feel we’ve been grounded, we can always find a way to take flight again."

about

My friend Lucy Blaise learned to play Celtic harp from Maureen more than 25 years ago. A lullaby for our aching hearts, collected from school children on the Isle of Man.

lyrics

Oh hush my dove, oh hush thee my rowan
Oh hush my lapwing, my little brown bird. (x2)
Oh fold thy wings and seek thy nest now,
Oh shine the berry, on the bright tree,
The bird is home from the mountain and valley.
Oh horo hi ri ri, Cadul Gu Lo (x2)
Oh hush my dove, oh hush thee my rowan,
Oh hush my lapwing, my little brown bird. (x2)
Throughout your life there are many, many tales,
gems and stories remember these songs and these rhymes
As you grow old; I mean that the truth will,
not leave you my birdie, my pretty dearing
Oh hush my dove, oh hush thee my rowan,
Oh hush my lapwing, my little brown bird (x2)
Fold thy wing and seek thy nest now,
Oh shine the berry on the bright tree,
The bird is home from the mountain and valley.
Oh horo hi ri ri, Cadul Gu Lo (x2)
