Overview
This module provides students with both a thorough introduction and an experiential immersion in the music of Ireland, and aims to encompass all its richness and variety. No previous knowledge of Irish musical history is required and neither is it necessary to be able to read musical notation. The module will engage with the music of Ireland from medieval times to the present day and will encompass three principal types of music ? Classical, Traditional, and Popular. The music of Ireland will be examined in its historical context and will be situated within the wider international context. Technical aspects of genres will be discussed and examined, along with music's historical, social, cultural and political dimensions. In addition to lectures, students will participate in organised activities around the city of Dublin, and will engage with at least six hours of live music over the course of the semester.
