The Elusive Celt departs from previous work in the wider
ethnomusicological field about traditional Irish music within its
home contexts and the English-speaking main destination countries
of Irish emigration, by adding a central and eastern European
perspective on perceptions of Irish musical culture and images of
"the Celtic" Specific attention is given to influences of recent
European history on these perceptions. Detailed ethnographies of
community music-making contexts in six different countries from the
Baltic to the Bosphorus, along both sides of the former Iron
Curtain, introduce the reader to cultural intimacies of local
community musicians with a long-term dedication to playing
traditional Irish music. The emerging images differ widely from
common stereotypes. The reader gains an insight into processes of
how musical and extra-musical detail is communicated between local
native Irish and non-Irish musicians at these locations, for which
Rina was able to draw on her knowledge of different European
languages.
