World of Music (Mary O'Hara album)

World of Music is a 1989 album by Mary O'Hara for EMI, as MFP 5870. The album is O'Hara's only 'around-the-world' survey of traditional songs, and contains O'Hara's first studio recordings of songs other than in English and Gaelic, including two Greek songs popularised by Nana Mouskouri, and an arrangement of Carl Orff's Latin-language "In Trutina", the full orchestral version of which O'Hara had selected as one of her Desert Island Discs for the BBC in 1981.
