John Ireland (1879-1962) was one of the leading composers of the
English Musical Renaissance at the end of the nineteenth century
and beginning of the twentieth century. Born of literary parents in
Bowdon, near Manchester, he went to London at the age of fourteen
to study at the newly-founded Royal College of Music where he
eventually became a pupil of Charles Villiers Stanford. Among his
near contemporaries at the College were Ralph Vaughan Williams,
Gustav Holst, Thomas Dunhill, William Y. Hurlstone, Henry Walford
Davies and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. Ireland is best known for his
songs (such as Sea Fever, The Bells of San Marie and the cycle of
Housman settings, The Land of Lost Content), his piano and chamber
music, his church music and his relatively small number of choral,
orchestral and brass band works. This catalogue of Ireland's
compositions, a revised and enlarged edition of the one published
in 1993 by the Clarendon Press (Oxford University Press), in
association with the John Ireland Trust, lists his compositions
from 1895 to 1961. Full details are given of dates of composition;
people or bodies responsible for a work's commission;
instrumentation; first performance; publications; location of the
autograph manuscript; critical comment in the bibliography from the
contemporary press and music journals, and recordings on compact
disc. Appended is a general bibliography and classified index of
main works. A list of personalia supplies details of people
connected with Ireland and his music during his lifetime.
