11 N the year 1855 wu published" The Ancient Musie of Ireland," a volume which
& 1I'U edited hy George Petrie, LL.D., under the auperiatendcnl:e of the " Society for
~
tbe preten'atioDand publication of the Melodiea of Ireland." Thu volume contains
• large number of airs, of which about twenty were contributed by me. It 1"11 my
",isb that all myeollection, or all worthy or ptuerv. tion, mould be printed by the
Soeiety, hut tbe publication ecued after the appearance of one ",ollune. The death of
Dr. Petrie, in 1864, put an end to all hope of continuing the work; for be left no oDe
behind him WbOWllll, at that time at least, eitberahle or wiJlingto unde.ru.ke tbeeditol1ohi;:o.

I .pent . 11 my early life in a partDf the country wberemulie.nd dancing were
t1l'Ourite amuaemenu; and I.!I I loyed the gneeful music of the people from my childhood.
their IOnS', dance tunes, keens, and lullabies remainod on my inemory, almost witbout any .
effort or my own.
I h. d iudeed excellent opportunitiel; for my father', memory wu
ricbly atored wilh popular .inand IOngl; .nd I believe be never sang or played • tune
that I did not learn.
Aflerwardl, when I CIImc to reaide in Dublin, .nd became BCquBwted
"iththev. riouapubliahedcollectioDlof Irish mUlic, I wulurpri3cd to find that. great
number of my tune. were unpuhlished, and quite unknown. outaide the diatrict or province
iD which they had been learned.
Thi. diteOvcry . timulated me to write down all the . ira
I could recollect; and when my own memory WIU e.xhaulted, I went among the peasantry .
durillg nn.tionl, for ItYenl lucceui,e yean, notiDg d01ll'D "hatever I thought "orthy or
Pl'Qerving, both muaic and word..
eollection.
In thu. way I gradually aceumulated a very large •

There yet remains a grut quantity of music among the people, unpuhli,llw. and
unrolleeted.
Dut it is fut dying out: anci thO$e who Ire gifted "'ith luflicicnt mlL!lieal
knowledge and taste should Cllteh and write down the fugitive . traiml before they are
extinO'lisbed for ever.
If the old harper. had not been brought together in IhMut in
17D2, by the patriotic exertions of Dr, ~h,cdonnell nnd a few other gt:ntlcmcn, Bunting
probably would ncvcrha.·centerdon the tukofpl'tsen-iug h~ rountry'. music,BDd thc
groatcrllumbcroftuDel iu his noble collectioD would haveheen lost to us: for iu a nry
few yun after, the harpefll were all dead and gone.
And now, if thollt amoug UI who

the weight be 20 inches, then each swing will indicate the length of a crotchet', The time
I have indieated for the danee tunes is Dot quitcs'l fast uthey were played for dancing.
In C(lnnection with the subject of time or movement, I wilt venture an opinion that
our lOng tuncs are generally played and sung too slowly: while on tbeother hand, the
danee music is ofteo piayedtoo flL'lt; and in both easel the sentiment of the air is injured
-sometimes utterly d~troycd. To underatand and appreeiate a long tune, the CRr of the
listener must, as it were, catch the paee of the melody; which is extremely difficult whOrl it
is played too slowly, and still mOrt 5O , if it be ol'crloaded with harmony. And in this
manner a tune, exquisitely beautiful when undcntood, may be made to a listener-el'en
though he be a ~killcu musician-quite unintelligible, and dC"oid of all sentiment. On this
subject, Bunting makee the following interC$tiog observations :-" 'Vhen thn meetiog of
the harpc ... took plaeeat Bclfast,in I 792, the euitor, being aelecteu to note down thetuoes,
Wa88urpriscdto fiud that all the melodies played by the harpcrs were performed with R
much greater degree of quickness than he had till then been accustomed to. The hRrper8
made those airs a. sume quite a new charackr, spirited, lively,and energetic, certaiuly
Rccording much more with the national dis~ition, than the languid and tedious manner
in which they were, and too often ati!l are, played among fallhionabla poblie performers, in
whose efforts at realitiug a falsc conception of acntiment, the melody is very often so
attenuatedutobeallbutlost." (Ancient M!lsic of Ireland; page 18.)
