TERRY MOYLAN: THE AGE OF REVOLUTION IN THE IRISH SONG TRADITION, 1776-1815
A superb collection of songs (and a few tunes) relating to a most eventful period, one that perhaps produced the richest legacy of popular verse and music in Ireland. The pieces, arranged in chronological order of the events to which they relate, are thoroughly documented by editor Terry Moylan. The book is full of illustrations, the format being reminiscent of the famous "Soodlum's Irish Ballad Book." This is a treasure-trove for singers and musicians as well as amateurs of Irish history.
