Focus: Irish Traditional Music, Second Edition introduces the
instrumental and vocal musics of Ireland, its diaspora in North
America, and its Celtic neighbors while exploring the essential
values underlying these rich musical cultures and placing them in
broader historical and social context. With both the undergraduate
and graduate student in mind, the text weaves together past and
present, bringing together important ideas about Irish music from a
variety of sources and presenting them, in three parts, within
interdisciplinary lenses of history, film, politics, poetry, and
art: I. Irish Music in Place and Time provides an overview of the
island's musical history and its relationship to current
performance practice. II. Music Traditions Abroad and at Home
contrasts the instrumental and vocal musics of the "Celtic Nations"
(Scotland, Wales, Brittany, etc.) and the United States with those
of Ireland. III. Focusing In: Vocal Music in Irish-Gaelic and
English identifies the great songs of Ireland's two main languages
and explores the globalization of Irish music. New to this edition
are discussions of those contemporary issues reflective of
Ireland's dramatic political and cultural shifts in the decade
since first publication, issues concerning equity and inclusion,
white nationalism, the Irish Traveller community, hip hop and punk,
and more. Pedagogical features-such as discussion questions, a
glossary, a timeline of key dates, and expanded references, as well
as an online soundtrack-ensure that readers of Focus: Irish
Traditional Music, Second Edition will be able to grasp Ireland's
important social and cultural contexts and apply that understanding
to traditional and contemporary vocal and instrumental music today.
