	Music of Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Music and lyrics are passed aurally/orally, and were rarely written down until recently (depending upon your definition of "recently", there are many examples of written music previous to 1800).
		Though solo performance is preferred in the folk tradition, bands or at least small ensembles have probably always been a part of Irish music since at least the mid- 19th century, although this is a point of much contention among ethnomusicologists.
		Irish traditional music was largely meant (to the best of our current knowledge) for dancing at celebrations for weddings, saint's days or other observances.

	TOPIC RECORDS for folk music by Carthy Tabor Watersons Tams MacColl
		Whether in the folk club, on the concert stage or in a TV studio, there are few roles he has not played, from ballad singer to folk-rock guitarist.
		Not only an inventive, innovative singer and fiddle-player, she is a musical conceptualist who treats the bequest of the folk tradition with respect and knowledge - and, sometimes, with refreshing irreverence.
		Their love of their region's traditional music is matched by their awareness of other contemporary forms, from blues to '90s dance music.'Consummately respectful of the history which has spawned their music, they nevertheless put different spins on it at every turn.

	A Traditional Music Library of folk music, tune-books, songbooks and sheet music
		The traditional music here is split into 22 different songbooks or tune-books, each dedicated to a particular type of traditional folk or roots music.
		With old-time, the emphasis is much more on tunes and dance music, and often a deliberate effort is made to perform the music in the same way as it might have been done in the rural settings of 100 years ago.
		They are most often folk songs, country dance or similar types of folk music but they can also be pieces from known early composers and may have been the "pop music " of their time.

		For one thing, dance quickly took root after the centre began in 1994, initially through Ethnochoreology, then through Irish Traditional Dance Performance and, most recently through the new BA Irish Music and Dance, the first undergraduate dance degree programme in Ireland to incorporate dance as a full subject in its own right.
		There were of course those who thought that the words ' World Music' in the original title was a throwing in of the towel within the arena of global cultural capitalism as well as those who felt the juxtaposition of the words 'Irish' and 'World' seemed grandiose, or even 'frantic'.
		'Irish World', far from being 'frantic', was simply mindful of the calling to recognise the globe that we inhabit.

	Paul James' Music Review: Irish Folk Music
		It is passionate music which comes straight from the heart and spirits of the Irish people, born out of the hardships and struggles of that unique land.
		While fast fiddle-led reels and jigs are the most well-known side of Irish music, slower airs are no less passionate in their expressiveness, often being tinged with a sadness, a longing and a profound sense of windswept lands and Atlantic breezes.
		The Fiddle may be the most obvious symbol of Irish Music, but for me it is the Uilleann Pipes which are Ireland's greatest contribution to the world of music.

	Ireland, Irish Gaelic Traditional Songs from Connemara
		Of course, as with all traditional singing, knowledge of the language and of the world view reflected in the songs is necessary to appreciate fully the essence of the tradition.
		The strongholds of traditional singing in Irish are in the Gaeltacht * areas of Donegal, Mayo, Galway, Kerry, Cork, Waterford and Meath.
		Although there are distinct regional styles of singing, represented by the various dialects, these styles should not be defined by region alone, because many styles, ranging from an elaborate ornate style to a more simple subtle form of ornamentation, are to be found in each region.
