Music, Ireland and the Seventeenth Century

The 17th century is a pivotal period in Irish musical history: reflecting political and cultural changes, the ancient harp tradition declined as European musical styles became more widespread. In this volume, the 10th in the Irish Musical Studies series, musicologists begin to establish a picture of music in Ireland at that time. The contributors include: Barra Boydell, Raymond Gillespie, Sean Donnelly, John Cunningham, Adrian Scahill, Maire Egan-Buffet, Christopher D.S. Field, Andrew Robinson, Martin Adams (TCD), Kerry Houston, and Denise Neary.
