  • The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis
    THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system.

I hope that these talented harpists will always be nurtured and helped in the country that has a harp as its national emblem.’ ‘The interest in the Irish harp is ever increasing and growing worldwide!’ ‘It never ceases to amaze me the profound effect this beautiful instrument has on audiences all around the world.‘ ‘I think the harp is fast becoming a mainstream instrument, which is brilliant.’ ‘All Irish children should have an opportunity to hear and see [the harp]... it is part of our culture and heritage and we have a responsibility to try and keep this tradition alive.’ ‘I find that when I play for people they are… as interested in the stories pertaining to the harp as they are in the music itself.’ ‘There is a whole market that could be created and developed out of the harp to enhance tourism, cultural life, and generate income.’ ‘I have been learning the instrument for less than a year, and it’s been greatly to my benefit.’ ‘I have seen the enormous growth in interest in harp playing.

  • Give an Account of the Harping Tradition in the Context of Irish Traditional Music
    2015 Q5 (B) (iv) Give an Account of the Harping Tradition in the Context of Irish Traditional Music. | A1 Sample Answer The Irish harping tradition dates back hundreds of years, and can be seen as far back as the 16th Century. It has evolved as a result of political influence and discoveries of new methods and techniques and its turbulent history is what has shaped the harping tradition we see today. The old Irish Harp contained a very sturdy sound box made from Sally or Willow Tree. It had brass strings and could not change pitch due to a one key system. The brass strings created a bell sound quality. This harp was played on the harper’s lap, using a technique known as “damping” to stop resonations. Traditionally, the role of the Irish Harper was very prestigious and stable. Patrons at the time were the old Irish and English Aristocrats, many of whom had their own harper. A well known patron at the time was the McDermott-Roe family, who provided Turlough O’Carolan with harping lessons. These harpers often composed jigs in 6/8 time called planxties in order to honour the guests such as “Planxty Maguire.” The role of the harper became an itinerant profession when English Rule affected social positions and economic structures of Ireland. At the Battle of Kinsale (1601) the Gaelic Order came to an end and the Old Chieftains lost their power, status and wealth. Harpers were forced to travel to look for work, as the stable harping occupation no longer existed. The harping repertoire also changed to include a new, diverse audience.

  • O'neill's Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melody
    O’Neill’s Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melody This PDF document was assembled from the "abc" music transcriptions of Paul T. Kinder. His original abc files are available at http://www2.redhawk.org/irish/oneill/ I merely concatenated Paul’s abc files into a single file, converted the non−standard output from Abc2Win to standard (version 1.6) abc syntax, corrected a few minor typos, converted comments to notes and re−formatted them to fit the available page width, and created the cross−indexed PDF document. While all of that may sound very time consuming I have written software to do most of the work. The only truly time−consuming part of the conversion was adjusting the line breaks and scale to make the most of the available page space. I used my own version of abcm2ps, called jaabc2ps, to create the Postscript files that the PDF document was distilled from. Jaabc2ps is an open source program I wrote in 1999 or 2000. I hadn’t released any new versions of this program until recently when I developed the additional code to create PDF outline marks in the Postscript files. Jaabc2ps is a derived from abcm2ps which in turn was derived from the original abc2ps. Some of the features I’ve added include the capability to print tinwhistle, dulcimer, and guitar tablature; a printable index at the end of documents; and the capability to insert PDF marks for creation of cross indexed PDF link "outlines." I used James AllWright’s fine program, abc2midi, to create MIDI files of the tunes.

This younger colleague was Joseph Glanvill, and Beale remarked that if Glanvill kept “off Origen,” his work might be successful. Glanvill, Beale added,“hath a flowry pen, & may doe well if we can ballaste him from Origenian Platonisme & Extravagant adven- tures.”1 Beale was referring to the teachings of the Church Father Origen of Alexandria, which had long been a part of a theological legacy with which independent-minded thinkers and scholars were able to combat the bleak orthodoxies of Augustinian an- thropology.
