  • Toccata Classics TOCC0242 Notes
    Americas, and from further aield: basically, if it’s good music and it hasn’t yet been recorded, JOHN KINSELLA, IRISH SYMPHONIST by Séamas da Barra John Kinsella was born in Dublin on 8 April 1932. His early studies at the Dublin College of Music were devoted to the viola as well as to harmony and counterpoint, but he is essentially self-taught as a composer. He started writing music as a teenager and although he initially adopted a straightforward, even conventional, tonal idiom, he began to take a serious interest in the compositional techniques of the European avant-garde from the early 1960s. He embraced serialism in particular as a liberating influence on his creative imagination, and he produced a substantial body of work during this period that quickly established him in Ireland as one of the most interesting younger figures of the day. In 1968 Kinsella was appointed Senior Assistant in the music department of Raidió Teilefís Éireann (RTÉ), the Irish national broadcasting authority, a position that allowed him to become widely acquainted with the latest developments in contemporary music, particularly through the International Rostrum of Composers organised under the auspices of UNESCO. But much of what he heard at these events began to strike him as dispiritingly similar in content, and he was increasingly persuaded that for many of his contemporaries conformity with current trends had become more P important than a desire to create out of inner conviction. As he found himself growing disillusioned with the avant-garde, his attitude to his own work began to change and he came to question the artistic validity of much of what he had written.

  • The Building of the State the Buildingucd and the Royal College of Scienceof on Merrionthe Street
    The Building of the State The BuildingUCD and the Royal College of Scienceof on Merrionthe Street. State UCD and the Royal College of Science on Merrion Street. The Building of the State Science and Engineering with Government on Merrion Street www.ucd.ie/merrionstreet Introduction Although the Government Buildings complex on Merrion Street is one of most important and most widely recognised buildings in Ireland, relatively few are aware of its role in the history of science and technology in the country. At the start of 2011, in preparation for the centenary of the opening of the building, UCD initiated a project seeking to research and record that role. As the work progressed, it became apparent that the story of science and engineering in the building from 1911 to 1989 mirrored in many ways the story of the country over that time, reflecting and supporting national priorities through world wars, the creation of an independent state and the development of a technology sector known and respected throughout the world. All those who worked or studied in the Royal College of Science for Ireland or UCD in Merrion Street – faculty and administrators, students and porters, technicians and librarians – played a part in this story. All those interviewed as part of this project recalled their days in the building with affection and pride. As chair of the committee that oversaw this project, and as a former Merrion Street student, I am delighted to present this publication as a record of UCD’s association with this great building. Professor Orla Feely University College Dublin Published by University College Dublin, 2011.

Ha'Penny Bridge Ha'Penny Bridge or Half Penny Bridge crosses Liffey Street Lower to Merchants Arch. The elliptical arched metal bridge originally had a wooden gangway when it was constructed in 1816. The bridge has a 43 meter span, 3 meter width and is 3 meters above the water. Today 30,000 people walk across the bridge every day! Before the bridge was built people would take ferries across the river. The ferries were often overcrowded and sometimes even capsized. When the bridge was constructed the ferries became redundant. William Walsh was the former ferry owner and a city alderman. He was compensated with £3,000 and a lease on the bridge for 100 years. Walsh charged Dubliners Image By: HalfPennyBridge-Public Domain a ha'penny to cross the bridge, which was the same price he had charged Image Source: for a ferry ride. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha'penny_Bridge#mediaviewer/File:HalfPennyBridge.jpg The bridge gets its name from the ha'penny toll but officially it has been called the Liffey Bridge since 1922. It is also known as Triangle, Iron Bridge and Wellington. The bridge remained the only pedestrian bridge crossing the Liffey River until Millennium Bridge was built in 1999.
