Another One Hundred Tunes” Published October 25, 2013
O’Flaherty Irish Music Retreat “Another One Hundred Tunes” Published October 25, 2013 We decided to issue a third tunebook in celebration of the tenth year of the O’Flaherty Irish Music Retreat. It is hard to believe that a decade has passed since we held our first event at the Springhill Retreat Center in Richardson, Texas back in October of 2004. None of us who organized that first event had any indication that it would grow as it has. What started as a small local music camp has given rise to a well-respected international camp attracting participants from near and far. We have been successful over the years because of two primary factors – good teachers and good learners. Fortunately, we have never had a shortage of either so we have not only survived, but have expanded greatly in both scope and size since our founding. There is one other factor of our success that is important to remember – the music itself. Traditional Irish music is unlike any music I’ve known. On one hand, I have seldom encountered music more difficult to master. Playing “authentically” is the goal but that goal can take years if not a lifetime of listening, practicing and playing. On the other hand, the music by its nature is so accessible that it permits players to engage in it at any level of ability. It is not uncommon for experienced players to encourage novices and help establish a connection with this remarkable music tradition. That connection is the essence of what we try to do at our retreat – pass on the music as musicians have done in Ireland for centuries.

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. Gradually I branched out to other sessions,

Children's Irish Session Booklet
The Sligo Creek Hedge School’s Children’s Irish Session Booklet compiled by Karen Ashbrook Irish Tune Types Reels - fast 4/4, can be accented on beats 1 & 3 or 2 & 4. Ornamentation- grace notes, triplets, rolls. The majority of tunes played in sessions are reels. A “single” reel is a reel that is only 16 measures once through (as opposed to the standard 32 measures.) Jigs - 6/8 (double jigs) are the most common and should be played at a moderate tempo. 9/8 jigs, also called "slip" or "hop" jigs, are rarer. Occasionally you will find 6/8 or 9/8 marches (more common in Scottish music). 12/8 (single) jigs are also called "slides" and are played for the Kerry Set (dance). Basic slide rhythm is quarter eighth. They can be ornamented the same as reels. Hornpipes - are a moderate tempo 4/4 with a bouncy beat. Although generally written out in straight eighth notes, they are played rhythmically with a slightly dotted beat. Hornpipes favor lots of triplets! Slow Airs - are played primarily as solos or with a single accompanest, allowing flexibility of interpretation and a loose meter. The best way to learn a slow air is from a sean nos singer. Also listen to harp arrangements. Polkas - are popular in Kerry and are used for set dancing. Sixteenth notes are often used to spice up polkas. Set Dances - are tunes in 6/8 or 4/4, often with an unusual number of measures. There are specific tunes for specific dances. Marches, Waltzes, Mazurkas, Flings, Highlands, Barndances - the latter three are found mostly in Northern Ireland and are from Scottish and Scandinavian derivations.

Young Composers in Irish Traditional Music C. 2004 – 2016
YOUNG COMPOSERS IN IRISH TRADITIONAL MUSIC C. 2004 – 2016: COMPOSITIONS, PROCESS, AND TRADITION A dissertation submitted for the degree of Master of Arts by Tadhg Donncha Tomás Ó Meachair Supervisor: Dr. Aileen Dillane Submitted to the University of Limerick, April 2018 Dedication Do mo thuistí, Neasa agus Timmy. Young Composers in Irish Trad. Music i Abstract This dissertation is an examination of the compositional styles and imperatives of young composers locating within the Irish music tradition from the years c.2004 – 2016. Over the course of this paper, four case studies investigate two sample compositions each by four identified composers of Irish traditional music, aged between 14 and 28 during this time period. Analysis of these compositions as well as in-depth interviews with the selected composers inform the bulk of the findings of this thesis. Interviews touch on the composers’ respective motivations, approaches, and attitudes towards composing. Personal satisfaction, commerciality, and education each emerge as motivational factors to varying degrees for the young composer in undertaking composition. In terms of approach, the role of harmony in composition emerges as a particularly important aspect of the process for these composers. Following on from this, the study discusses issues surrounding the composers' own understanding of what it is that comprises ‘the composition’. Varying attitudes are uncovered whereby predetermined harmonic accompaniments can be seen as an equal constituent part of the composition at times, while at other stages remain secondary to the melody. Composers’ adherence to certain traditional expectations, especially in terms of the overall structure of compositions, is a key trend uncovered in this study.

Chapter 4 the Dance Tune Tradition ______(1) AA Pages 59-60 CD Track 10, Reels - “The Ash Plant and “The Dog Among the Bushes”
Chapter 4 The Dance Tune Tradition _______________________________________________________________________ (1) AA Pages 59-60 CD Track 10, Reels - “The Ash Plant and “The Dog Among the Bushes” 1. Review the structure of Irish tunes that was introduced in Activity 6, Chapter 1, and then read the description of tune structure on p. 59. 2. Read the directions under Activity 4.1 on p. 60. Note that each section of “The Ash Plant” is not repeated, but in “The Dog Among the Bushes,” each section is repeated. 3. During first listening, (1) tap or clap the beat and (2) show the duple meter throughout by counting in this way: 1-2, 2-2, 3-2, 4-2, 5-2, 6-2, 7-2, 8-2. As you tap and count, follow the listening map on Overhead 4.1 to help you. Make sure to go straight into the second reel when you finish the first. 4. Now follow the melodies of the tunes using the notation. Since this music is passed on orally and varies with each performance, the notated tune will not be the same as the performed tune. What differences do you notice between what you hear and what you see? ________________________________________________________________________ (2) C/U Pages 60-61 Finding Tunes Print collections: The authors describe the life and contributions of one important collector of Irish tunes, Francis O’ Neill. In Chapter 2, they introduced a collector from an earlier period, Edward Bunting. Go to Worksheet 4.1 and after you have chosen a collector of Irish tunes, conduct research on the collector and answer the questions.
