	Visit Ireland - About Ireland: Culture
		Traditional music is the music of the community, transmitted orally and by ear and handed down from one generation to another.
		In the meantime in America, the Folk Music was on the rise with groups such as the Weavers, Pete Seeger and The Kingston Trio.
		Although a musical culture had begun to develop in centers of English and Anglo-Norman influence, there seems to be little creative activity in the field of art music.

	Wikinfo \| Music of Ireland
		Ireland is internationally known for its folk music, which has remained a vibrant tradition throughout the 20th century, when many traditional forms worldwide lost popularity to pop music.
		It is, however, difficult or impossible to know the age of most tunes due to their tremendous variation across Ireland and through the years; some generalization is possible, however, for example, only modern songs are written in English, with few exceptions, the rest being in Irish.
		Music and lyrics are passed orally, and were only rarely written down until recently.

	Music in Ireland
		In Gaelic Ireland, in the Middle Ages, the harp was the main instrument, so much so that in the seventeenth century it was adopted as the arms of Ireland.
		Charles Villiers Stanford, from Dublin, was a profound influence on the English musical scene in the late nineteenth century, as Professor of Music at Cambridge University and as a prolific composer.
		In Northern Ireland, the Ulster Orchestra has established a firm reputation for itself, both in the province and beyond its shores; a newcomer among soloists is Barry Douglas from Belfast, winner of the 1986 Tchaikovsky competition in Moscow for pianists from all over the world.

	Music \| Northern Ireland
		Music from the north of Ireland has always had a harder edge than the south - again, probably because of its history - and I think that's why the punk that came out of the north was way better than anything from the south.
		The live music scene is booming throughout Ireland too; loads of bands are playing both Dublin and Belfast, which has meant that a lot of new venues have opened.
		Ireland has always punched above its weight in terms of music - let's not forget that the biggest band in the world, U2, comes from our country - and the Oh Yeah Centre should definitely do its bit to make sure it stays that way.

	Pre-Reformation Church Music in Ireland
		I have already treated of the great Continental schools of music founded by Irish monks, especially that of St. Gall's; and reference has also been made to the Culdees of Armagh, who had a world-renowned music school, from the eighth to the sixteenth century.
		Music was sedulously cultivated; and several Latin treatises on musical theory were written by eminent prelates and clerics, including a valuable work by Simon Tunstede, D.D., O.S.F., who died in 1369.
		An entry was then made in the rule-books of the Court to the effect that "the Chauntor of Christ Church brought into Court the Vicar's Choral, and performed their accustomed service and homage due to his Majestie," receiving their wonted fee of ten shillings sterling.

	Talk:Music of Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This music can be sorted into a wide variety of dance tune types, such the reel, the jig of various kinds, hornpipes, set dances, polkas, slides, highlands (also called "flings" and "schottisches"), barndances, waltzes, and mazurkas.
		However, the traditional music of Ireland and other closely associated musical forms is played 'live' worldwide in homes and pubs by ordinary people from all walks of life, and is passed on from generation to generation in the oral tradition.
		Music of Ireland is rather dual-purpose at the moment, and perhaps could benefit from disambiguation or sub-articles.

	Music Network
		Music Network was established by The Arts Council of Ireland in 1986 to make live music of the highest quality available and accessible to everyone in Ireland, regardless of their location or circumstance, while supporting the career development of musicians.
		This partnership approach develops the capacity of local communities to provide musical activity within their region, and develop the musical life of their community in the longer term.
		ADVOCACY: As the national agency for the development of music in Ireland, Music Network has initiated research projects in music in healthcare settings and is campaigning for increased provision for music education in Ireland.

		Ireland has seen more than its share of wars and disasters, culminating in the Great Famine of 1845-8.
		Ireland is the only country in the world to have a musical instrument — the harp — as its national emblem.
		In this land, famous for its love of music, modern forms such as country & western and rock flourish, but it is the traditional music that captures the essence of the country.

	Ancient Music of Ireland
		not music, but mere mechanical sound output of sheet music !) are an attempt to reflect this very stage of Irish music, standing, at this end of the 18th century, at the crossroads of several traditions, combining and blending them, in various proportions, and creating something new.
		This situation, between popular and scholarly music (echoed in the social position of the last harpers) is probably representative of other traditions (see welsh harp and piobaireachd page).
		This kind of music, unlike the mediæval european music which is purely modal and develops its lines around a few emphasized notes of the scale, is often (for the first time ?) built on particular subsets (chords) of the scale.

		In earlier times art music was largely a feature of urban life for the Anglo-Irish, particularly in the city of Dublin which in the early 18th century experienced a flowering of European music after the fashion popular in London.

		Irish music has a long and rich history, and I think the history that goes with the music is part of what makes it so interesting.

	Music of Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		(The band At The Racket continues the "tradition" of the saxophone in Irish music.) As of current writing, the first three instruments are now generally accepted in traditional Irish music circles (although perhaps not in the most purist of venues), while the latter three are generally not.
		A good case can be made that the Irish traditional music of the year 2006 has much more in common with that of the year 1906 than that of the year 1906 had in common with the music of the year 1806.
		One of the very few respected five-string banjo players involved with Irish music is Chris Grotewohl, who also plays oldtime and bluegrass.

		This is partly because Irish music is both appealing and accessible but because of the ready-made audience of literally millions of people of Irish descent around the world.
		Traditional music, although it never quite died out, enjoyed a major renaissance during the 1960's, when the composer-arranger-musicologist Sean Ó'Raida embarked upon his grass-roots Celtic revival.
		This music languished outside of the popular imagination, mostly confined in Irish-speaking enclaves (gaeltachts) in the North, West and South.

	Music in Ireland
		Hast and Scott’s relatively short work is part of a series, subtitled ‘Experiencing Music, Expressing Culture’, clearly aimed at academics running courses on Irish traditional music (sometimes under the bastardised heading of ‘Celtic music’) and their students in US universities and colleges.
		However, do not allow that to become a deterrent because, for the main part, the two authors seem to have not only become immersed in their subject but risen to the surface with a grasp of its key points undiminished by their ducking.
		Though clearly Hast and Scott do not quite have a complete grip on Irish history (did Wolfe Tone really lead a rebellion in 1796?), they do have a feel for the music and their accounts of the histories of the dance and song traditions are generally cogent and easy on the understanding of neophytes.

		Demand for "traditional Irish music" is on the rise and quite abundant in Ireland, something I just took for granted each time I traveled to Ireland.
		Music is typically on WEEKEND in the winter months though.
		In recent times, with the increasing international interest in Irish traditional music, the area has become a mecca for traditional music lovers to the extent that many roving musicians have come to settle in the area and have blended their talents with those of the local native musicians.

	Altan, Traditional Music from Ireland - Irish Culture (Site not responding. Last check: )
		When I first heard of Altan---a long time ago---it didn’t sink in that it was a musical group under discussion.
		As it turns out, the Irish traditional music group, Altan, is named for the Loch, which is near Mount Errigal in the Blue Stack Mountains of Donegal which is near Gweedore, which is near Annagry.
		This is a prolific group that maintains the energy, whimsy, and light-heartedness that Irish music is so well-known for.

	O'Neill's Music Of Ireland
		For those of you who do read music: it is a known fact that the compilers of O'Neill's were NOT trained "Traditional" musicians, and the book is riddled with incorrect notation, incorrect keys and an almost total lack of ornamentation.
		Again, I welcome one and all to take as much of the music as they care to onto their own hard-drives so they'll be available for ready reference.
		Also, please be sure that the music you send is not currently under copyright, or that you are the copyright owner.

	O'Neill's Music of Ireland
		The PDF documents here were assembled from the "abc" music transcriptions produced by that transcription team.
		However, remember that part of the charm of Irish traditional music is ornamentation provided by individual players and one shouldn't necessarily slavishly attempt to copy the performance of another.
		BarFly also writes ABC with non-standard line breaks, resulting in thousands of lines of ABC source that had to be "massaged" by hand to avoid errors in other parsers and to format the printed scores attractively.
