Erin Gra Mo Chroi (literally, Ireland the love of my heart) is an evocative and emotional cry of yearning for home. In that moment of reflection all Irish people can experience on St Patrick's Day, the singer goes beyond her adopted landscape at the meadows, mountains and coastlines of Ireland. And, for a moment, is back there with the ocean breezes and family warmth.
Moya Brennan, a constant ambassador for the Irish language and culture worldwide, has been inspired to record this timeless song as she sets the scene for this year'sNew York St. Patrick's Day Paradethe day after her performance at theSt. Patrick's Day Foundation's Gala. Moya performs her new rendition of Erin Gra Mo Chroi on NBC's live coverage from 5th Avenue on March 17. Watch a sneak peekof Moya and Cormac performing Erin Gra Mo Chroi.
