A score based on the internationally famous Irish folk song "Women of Ireland (Mná na hÉireann)" was an absolute necessity for writer/director David Bertran, as it set the exact tone he was looking for to pace his original tale. Originally written as a poem by Peadar Ó Doirnín (c.1700-1769, a school teacher, poet, and songwriter), the poem has been adapted to music many times. However, the most famous adaptation by far, and the one used by Bertran, was by 20th Century composer Seán Ó Riada (correct Gaelic spelling) (more commonly credited as Sean O'Riada) (1931-1971), As a modern song, it is properly considered Irish Rebel music, but internationally, it is known and usually referred to as Irish Folk music.
