Rave Umni.staltable Character of Where did they spring from, s.a.d when? Lost tra the miste of tithe, they have been handed down front generation to generation, many of them without a name, butt with the unmistakable diameter of nationality In their melodic construction, that has stamped them as Irish. Many of thetu are very old, John McCormack says that "Ireland was singing when the first breath of his- tory parted the mists about her ccrasts," and she has been singing on the battlefields, among the hills, in the castle, and the quiet cabin, be- cause the Irian have always sung, as if music was as much to them as the air they breathed. The Irish claim that their teachers of music belt! the highest rank as euch in limey Parts or England a thousand pews ago. So that the art of the nalltan tetteleir is an old established profession in Ire- land. 'rho chief instruments taught were the harp, and the bagpipe, I3oth Instruments have changed a good deal from their original conditiott. and have been practically superceded by the piano and violin, but iu the country districts the bagpipe is still O familiar Friend of the •cattars. A feature of limey old folk eongs is the great compass of vole° teat is required to sing them, the magi^ of- ten extends to two octaves, or Morn, which taxes the singer to the utmost, and demands complete (enrol of the upper register of the voicerow did the bards of long ago manage this? Yoke production and breath control, as we understand them to day, was not known. It is probable that each einger pitched the eong to suit his own Vain, and staled (ham, embellishments to the song .he tang, which is characteristie of all eat•ly folk songs. The songs of Irelene were 1.1 throe classee. Weeping music, which is sung at the Oactine (Even). The eao-iners, or mourners, and those who sit round the dead body, and sing, or keen" Inc emirs, and many Irish songs have a peculiar wail suit- ed to slice mournful uccasions. Laughleg inuSlc is anon er khill of Trish song. There are generally heard at dances. The titythret is lively and is sung in a spirited manner and ac- companied by any instrument that is available. The eound of MUSIC With a strong .rhytemic accent ap- peals with great force to the Walt peasant. Their feeling Inc rhythm appears to be inherent, They can't keep their feet, still when music of this class is being played, and it is said that an Irish peasant will gladly take down his cottage door, to that Ile may hear the tap of the feet as Ole fiddler plays his inspiring notes. Sleeping muses is another elan, of Irish music which consists of those low, Crooning, plaintive. airs, that one associates with the cradle, and which has sung a popular appeal to all classes. These tunes vary greatly ac- cording to the district in whichthey ore sung. A tune sung in Killarney would sound very different In Ath- lone, the principle notes would be the - same, -but the variations, or adormnents that are alwaYs added, erequently obscures the real tune to stieh an extent that it is only by 11s - toning attentively that the similarity te detectede, Many Irish folk songs have been Incorporated in operas, and other works. Handel has an Irish jig, In "Ads and Galatea." Mendelssohn wrote it fantasia ori Irish Tunes. Beethoven and Haydn tilted Them, and Ireland has produced her own, big men, In Field, William Wallace, im•• &met Balfe, and coming doyen to more 'modern times in such men as Stast- ford, Victor Herbert and Hamilton Harty, not to forgot Dr. Annie Pat- terson or Cork, who is said to be the first W01114111 to pass bet examins talon as a doctor of emisto.
