  • Bowing Styles in Irish Fiddle Playing Vol 3
    Bowing Styles in Irish Fiddle Playing Vol 3 David H. Lyth July 2016 2 This is the third volume of a series of transcriptions of Irish traditional fiddle playing. The others are `Bowing Styles in Irish Fiddle Playing Vol I' and `Bowing Styles in Irish Fiddle Playing Vol 2'. Volume 1 contains reels and hornpipes recorded by Michael Coleman, James Morrison and Paddy Killoran in the 1920's and 30's. Volume 2 contains several types of tune, recorded by players from Clare, Limerick and Kerry in the 1950's and 60's. Volumes I and II were both published by Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eirann. This third volume returns to the players in Volume 1, with more tune types. In all three volumes, the transcriptions give the bowing used by the per- former. I have determined the bowing by slowing down the recording to the point where the gaps caused by the changes in bow direction can be clearly heard. On the few occasions when a gap separates two passages with the bow in the same direction, I have usually been able to find that out by demanding consistency; if a passage is repeated with the same gaps between notes, I assume that the directions of the bow are also repeated. That approach gives a reliable result for the tunes in these volumes. (For some other tunes it doesn't, and I have not included them.) The ornaments are also given, using the standard notation which is explained in Volumes 1 and 2. The tunes come with metronome settings, corresponding to the speed of the performance that I have.

The main purpose of the book is to show basic figures, calling techniques, and dance event organizing tips to begin or further your journey as a caller.

There are few active callers and even fewer surviving or revival square dances out there.

  • An Investigation Into the Feasibility and Benefit of Irish Set Dancing for People with Parkinson’S Disease
    An Investigation into the Feasibility and Benefit of Irish Set Dancing for People with Parkinson’s Disease Joanne Shanahan BSc. MISCP A thesis submitted to the University of Limerick in fulfilment of the requirements for the award Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Therapies University of Limerick Supervised by: Dr. Amanda M. Clifford Dr. Orfhlaith Ni Bhriain, Prof. Meg E. Morris Submitted to the University of Limerick, November 2016 i i Abstract Title: An investigation into the feasibility and benefit of Irish set dancing for people with Parkinson’s disease Author: Joanne Shanahan Irish set dancing may be beneficial for people with Parkinson’s disease and encourage habitual exercise participation through the integration of dynamic balance activities, socialisation and musical enrichment. Currently, only one published study, which was carried out in a sample of Venetians with Parkinson’s disease, has investigated the feasibility of set dancing. Set dancing has a rich cultural heritage in Ireland and is a popular social and cultural activity in Ireland. Thus, research exploring the role of set dancing as an exercise activity in an Irish population is warranted. The aim of the project presented in this thesis was to investigate the feasibility and benefit of Irish set dancing for people with Parkinson’s disease in Ireland. The findings of a systematic review and single-group feasibility study informed the methods of a multi-centered pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT). Ninety participants were randomised (n=45 per group) into a set dancing group and usual care control group. No adverse effects were reported. Attrition during the study was >40% in both groups and adherence to the intervention was 93.5%.

Lucy Winnington’s essay discusses the ‘haunted land’ in the photography of New Zealand, marking the journal’s first submission on NZ Gothic. Laurie Ringer’s article “With Teeth” takes a Deleuzian reading of A L Kennedy alongside paintings of the martyred St. Apollonia. Debra Van Tuyll and Carl Purdy’s piece (our first collaborative essay here at Dark Arts) looks for the uncanny in Irish folk music. Finally, Will Connor explores experimental Gothic music and performance. As always, this issue couldn’t have happened without the help of our reviewers and advisors, who give the journal the ‘bite’ of rigorous scholarship.

I didn’t know what a session was like, and I didn’t understand why tunes sounded painfully lame when I played them verbatim off the page. One lazy summer day, I Googled “Boston Irish session” and found out about the early session at the Green Briar in Brighton. After mustering up my courage, I showed up and sat there, ears open and flute in my lap, every week for months until the tunes started to sink in and I saw what other players did to breathe life into them.
