This musical documentary was produced by CBS radio in conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of 1916. Charles Kurult is the host for this show. Remembering Charles Kurult We will play it in two continual segments, so that it would be easy to tape. Below is the playlist for this show. It is about 70% music and 30% documentary and reading of poetry. De Valera's speeches are rare to hear. Links related to songs and poems contain the lyrics & music for that music.
