"The South Wind", (in Gaelic: "An Gaoth Andheas"), also known as "The Martinmass Wind", "The Southern Breeze", "The Southwind" or "The Wind From The South" is an Irish waltz or slow air in 3/4 time.
The tune is taken from a song titled "Oh Wind from the South" that was transcribed from the playing of a harper from County Clare in 1792. The lyrics were originally written in the 1700s, in Gaelic, by Donal "Meirgeach (Freckled)" MacConmara (1715–1810), who was homesick for his homeland in County Mayo, Ireland.
The tradition tells about a ghost ship bringing back to Ireland the souls of the Irish exiles, called Wild Geese, and mercenaries who had been killed in battle in foreign wars. As the vessel continued around southwest Cork it was driven up the west coast by a southern breeze and the ghosts of the expatriates could be heard intoning this tune, which was picked up by musicians on the coast of Clare who witnessed the event.
In my version I sing and play guitar and mandolins (Napolitan and Octave) as well virtual (Komplete Kontroll) Uillean Pipes and some wind effects. I produced this at my home with Band in a Box and Reaper.
