Ireland! Emerald green isle... land of shamrocks, fairies and leprechauns. Home of St. Patrick, Yeats and James Joyce... Rolling green hills and, of course, potatoes! In this book we've gathered over 60 Irish children's songs and rhymes. Many have commentary sent to us by our correspondents who are immersed in the traditions and culture of Ireland. There's not always a sharp distinction between songs sung by children and by adults. So we've included a sampling of some of the most popular Irish traditional songs. We?ve also included examples of Ireland's heritage of very moving ballads and lullabies. Many of these songs and rhymes are in English, but we're proud to also include several that are Gaelic. In those cases we provide English translations. We hope this book will help foster a love of Irish songs and culture all over the world! This book includes: -Irish songs, rhymes, lullabies, and carols -In English, and some in Gaelic with English translations -Commentary from ordinary people about what the songs have meant to their lives -Web links to recordings and sheet music -Illustrations You'll find over 60 Irish favorites, including: -Sally Go Round The Moon -Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral -Michael Finnigan -May the Road Rise Up to Meet You -One, Two, Three O'Leary -It's a Long Way to Tipperary -How Many Miles to Dublin -Danny Boy "May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light, May good luck pursue you each morning and night."

This book is the first major study of the Gaelic song tradition in an area which was the main center of literature in Leath Chuinn (the northern half of Ireland) from the end of the 17th century to the middle of the 19th century. Written in English, it gives text, source music, and the translation of 54 songs - mainly vision poems, laments, courtly love songs and the songs of the people. The collection includes material from recently discovered music manuscripts, which are reconnected here to their original texts. The catalogue section includes facsimile copies of unpublished dance tunes. As both a researcher and traditional singer, Ní Uallacháin gives a unique insight into her native Gaelic song tradition.
