Actually, I can tell you Steven, because I just played the same set for a funeral in NH on Saturday.

1. Suo Gan is a Welsh lullaby. There are several different translations of the lyrics. Here's one version:

To my lullaby surrender
Warm and tender is my breast
Mother's arms with love caressing
Lay their blessing on your rest
Nothing shall tonight alarm you
None shall harm you, have no fear
Lie contented, calmly slumber
On your mother's breast, my dear

Here tonight I tightly hold you
And enfold you while you sleep
Why, I wonder, are you smiling
Smiling in your slumber deep?
Are the angels on you smiling
And beguiling you with charm
While you also smile, my blossom
In my bosom soft and warm?

Have no fear now, leaves are knocking
Gently knocking at our door
Have no fear now, waves are beating
Gently beating on the shore
Sleep, my darling, none shall harm you
Nor alarm you, never cry
In my bosom sweetly smiling
And beguiling those on high

2. The Skye Boat Song written about Bonnie Prince Charlie after he escapes to the Isle of Skye following the Jacobite defeat at Culloden.

3. The Iona Boat Song Iona is the sacred isle off Scotland's west coast. The ancient Scottish kings were buried at the monastary there. MacBeth and King Duncan have graves there. This is the tune chanted by the ancient monks as they rowed the dead king's body from the mainland for burial.

4. The Dark Isle The dark isle is a reference to Scotland, and this was a favorite tune of the Queen Mother. The Queen's piper played this for the Queen Mother's funeral procession in 2002.

5. Mist Covered Mountains This tune was piped for President Kennedy's funeral.

6. Lament for Jeff Ap Parven This is Breton tune - a haunting lament for a Breton composer who wove Celtic motifs and instruments into the symphonies he composed.

7. Kilworth Hills This is a retreat, piped at sundown in the Scottish regiments, similar to the bugler in other regiments. It signals the end of the day and the posting of the night watch.

8. Abide with Me A well known hymn.

9. Finlandia While the tune is used in the hymn, Be Still My Soul, it was written by the classical composer Sibelius.

10. Going Home The tune is found in Dvorak's New World Symphony, but he in fact composed his symphony from native songs of North America. This was an old negro spritual.

Goin' home, goin' home, I'm a goin' home
Quiet like, still some day, I'm just goin' home
It's not far, just close by, through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
Going to fear no more
Mother's there, 'specting me
Father's waiting too
Lots of folks gathered there
All the friends I knew

Goin' home, goin' home, I'm a goin' home
It's not far, just close by, I'm a goin' home
Morning star lights the way
Restless dream all done
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life just begun
There's no break, ain't no end
Just a living on
Wide awake with a smile, going on and on

Goin' home, goin' home, I'm a goin' home
It's not far, just close by, I'm a goin' home
Nothing's lost, all is gain, no longing for the day
No more stumbling on the way
No more fret nor pain
Goin' home, goin' home, I'm a goin' home
Quiet like, still some day, I'm a goin' home

I'm just goin' home
I'm a goin' home
