DOWNLOAD EBOOK"The encyclopaedia of music in Ireland ... represents the first comprehensive attempt to chart Irish musical experience across recorded history. It also documents Ireland's musical relations with the world at large, notably in Britain, continental Europe and the United States, and it seeks to identify those agencies (personal and organisational) through which music has expressed itself as a cardinal feature of Irish political, social, religious and cultural life"--Introduction, page xxi.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe definitive reference book on Ireland's cultural and religious heritage. Ireland has one of the finest cultural heritages and a standard reference book combining the related subjects of folklore, myth, legend and romance is long overdue. There are 350 substantial entries, in alphabetical order from Abán, a 6th-century saint, to Weather, all with full references to sources, a synopsis of relevant stories, and discussion of their origin, nature and development. These are complimented by a genre-list of material under various headings, such as Mythical Lore, Fianna Cycle, Ulster Cycle, King Cycles, Peoples and Traditions, Religious Lore, and Folk Custom and Belief. There is also a wealth of genealogical detail, indicating how historical and social circumstances have influenced the growth and spread of Irish lore. DAITHI O HOGAIN, Associate Professor of Irish Folklore at University College Dublin, was an international authority on folklore and traditional literature.
