Beethoven's seventy-two settings of traditional Irish airs
constitute his most prolific output in any genre. The arrangements
were commissioned in the early nineteenth century by the Scottish
editor and publisher, George Thomson, who sent airs, but no texts,
to Beethoven. Poetry, mostly by less well-known poets, was attached
to the finished settings before publication by Thomson, and perhaps
therein lies the reason why the songs never achieved the popularity
which they deserve: many of the poems have been judged to be of
inferior quality. In this edition, the first in which all
Beethoven's Irish folksong settings are published together, the
late baritone, broadcaster and musicologist, Tomas O Suilleabhain,
selected texts, mostly by Burns and Moore, which he felt were more
appropriate to the airs and to Beethoven's settings.
