about

Gallorus Oratory is a beautifully preserved early Christian church found on Dingle Peninsular in County Kerry. It was probably built in the tenth century, and is constructed entirely of unmortered dry stone with a hole for a window and an open doorway. The site was probably a pagan ceremonial site before the church was built, and is now fenced off from a car park. It seemed to be a metaphor for the music of the area - the tin whistle. One could imagine the tuneless blowing of air through shells and pipes in pagan rituals, then the subduing of that enthusiasm with the imposition of Gregorian chants and tightly controlled religious music, until finally the passion and fervour unleashes itself in the frenetic folk music of the people.
