More about the book

Focusing on the evolution of musical thought in Ireland from 1770 to 1970, this study highlights music's critical role in shaping Irish cultural identity amidst a predominantly verbal culture. It explores three central themes: sectarian culture, cultural autonomy, and celticism, examining the impact of notable figures like Turlough Carolan and Sean Ó Riada. By analyzing music's influence on nationalism and colonialism, the book aims to illuminate its symbolic power and the challenges in establishing a lasting aesthetic comparable to the Literary Revival.
