As for what this is, here is Diana's brief explanation:
When I went to Edinburgh last year, I met a lovely gentleman named Mike Gibb, a lyricist/playwright, who said that he'd fallen in love with OUTLANDER, and that he and his friend, composer Kevin Walsh, would like to do a song-cycle--a musical telling of the story in the form of 14 or 15 songs. (There's a possibility that this song-cycle might eventually be the bones of a stage production, but for now, it's just songs.)Diana got permission to make this particular song available as a free download, but if you want to hear the rest of the songs in the collection, you'll have to pay for them.
Watch for the official announcement, with all the details about the project, including how you can order CDs, on Diana's blog and/or web site in the next few days. If I hear anything further, I'll post updates here.
I think the song is just lovely, even though I don't speak Gaelic. (The Gaelic lyrics are here, if you're interested.)
Do take the time to listen to this. I think you'll like it!
UPDATE 7/13/2010 1:17 PM: Diana has posted an announcement on her blog about this, with some more details.

the song is definitely awesome! i'm so excited about the cd.
off topic, i was looking at audible for a new book to listen to and echo is part of the paperback sale and is 8.95 (i think-8something) i bought i a long time ago but thought you might like to pass it on as this is cheaper than normal.
a question if you dont mind, did you rent or buy fc and aaosaa from recorded books? if you rent can you listen on an ipod?
i like your site, i love all things outlandre too!
Sissy:
I bought my copy of ABOSAA from Amazon, actually. I bought the unabridged FIERY CROSS directly from Recorded Books, which is the only way you can get it at the moment. (I'm currently listening to FIERY CROSS myself, as a matter of fact -- coming up to the hanging scene later today, probably.)
I have no experience with renting from Recorded Books, but the CDs I have purchased from them import onto my iPod just fine. I would suggest that you contact them directly and ask that question.
Hope this helps.
Karen
