About the Book

"Caointe agus Seancheolta Eile - Keening and Other Old Irish Musics", is a new bilingual publication that explores the old musical traditions of Ireland. Breandan O Madagain has long been a noted scholar in the field of the Irish language and the song and poetic traditions associated with it. He was Professor of Irish in NUI, Galway and used often sing the poems to his students during lectures, illustrating the integral function of music in Irish poetry. In this book, he brings together the many strands of his knowledge to uncover the fascinating historical musical traditions of Ireland. Included in this analysis are keens, work songs, macaronic songs, religious songs, elegies and political songs. Uniquely, this work examines not only the texts but also the music associated with them, examples of which can be heard on the accompanying CD. The book explores the contexts in which these various poetic and musical traditions were performed, their social function, and examines the traditions of the ordinary people and those of the learned poets. The book also contains the texts of many historically-documented instances of these: a mother keening her daughter who is going to America, excerpts from the famed Caoineadh Art Ui Laoghaire and elegies for historic figures.

About the Author :
Breandan O Madagain was Professor of Modern Irish at NUI, Galway from 1975-97, and during this time he enriched the lives of the many people he encountered with his knowledge and passion for the Irish language and its traditions, particularly its music. He has written extensively on the subject of old Irish music and song. A festschrift in his honour, Teada Duchais, was published in 2002.
