About
Belfast-born Herbert Hughes set about collecting and distributing Irish airs. From there he began arranging the melodies for voice and piano, but at a lecture in Dublin pointed out the relationship between the original song, as sung by 'the peasant, giving voice to an ancient tradition' and the same song as put into print with a piano accompaniment.
This original disc brings together both the old and the new, transforming the traditional folk song into an 'art-song.' The 25 folk songs tell of stories both happy and sad and make this disc as much a literary landscape, as a musical one with words by Thomas Moore & James Joyce.
Beautifully performed by Ailish Tynan and Iain Burnside. Irish soprano, Ailish Tynan has been awarded RTE Millennium Singer of the Future, won the Maggie Teyte and Cardiff Singer of the World Rosenblatt Recital Prizes in 2003 and is now a BBC New Generation Artist.
