The Irish songwriter, Thomas Moore (1779-1852) enjoyed enormous
popularity during and after his lifetime and his celebrity was
summed up by his friend, Lord Byron, who declared him: "The poet of
all circles and the idol of his own". Yet, despite his seminal role
in the development of Irish national song, few modern editions have
been made available and none focus on the earliest piano
arrangements published during Moore's lifetime and the decades
following his death. This new critical edition collects together
for the first time in one volume selected original arrangements of
the world-famous Irish Melodies for solo voice and duet along with
other successful English-language songs to texts by Moore and
foreign-language settings by Schumann, Mendelssohn, Berlioz and
Duparc. Several aspects were considered in choosing songs such as
their historical significance as well as their usefulness to the
performer and impact in performance and the beauty of the vocal
content and the partnering accompaniments. The Thomas Moore
Songbook will appeal to a broad spectrum of academics,
practitioners and teachers of singing as well as those with a deep
interest in Irish history, culture and heritage.
