"Ar a Ghabháil 'n a 'Chuain Domh"
Song

"Ar a Ghabháil 'n a 'Chuain Damh" is a song by Irish folk group Clannad released in 1980 on their album Crann Úll.

The song is the opening track of the album "Crann Úll". It is written in the key of A major and it doesn't follow any standard rhythm. It starts with a chord progression, which is then followed through most of the song. Then as the mandolin appears at first, the song gets a more traditional form - since then it is played in common time which sometimes changes to 7/8 or 5/4 time signature.

One of the main characteristic signs of the song is the notable use of a Fender-Rhodes electric piano in the second section of the song. The other is a flute solo which begins at around 1:50, and is followed by a bluesish acoustic guitar solo.
