The Antrim Rising was a largely ideological movement that was influenced by the beliefs of the United Irishmen; in contrast, the Wexford Rising was a reactionary movement that was influenced by the leadership of Fr.

  • 1 Ceoltóirí Na Éireann – Songs of Ireland Irish Heritage Through Music
    Ceoltóirí na Éireann – Songs of Ireland Irish Heritage Through Music Dr Angela Maye-Banbury BA MSc PhD FCIH SFHEA Department of the Natural and Built Environment Sheffield Hallam University Howard St SHEFFIELD S1 1 WB 1 History in Every Note “The older the fiddle, the sweeter the tune” (old Irish saying). Behind every polka, every hornpipe, every march, jig or reel, there is a story. Irish traditional music springs from the people and the land, the deep history and the deeper myth of the land in a way that is vibrant and unique. It is a music of place and time, of name and nature. It is a music of humour and of suffering, of faith and fantasy. Airs trace their history back long into the past. Tunes that we may know only as instrumental favourites may well have words and a story that speaks of distant fears and hopes going back generations. Irish traditional music runs deep and is old. Even modern tunes may have a back story whose genesis is buried the distant memory. Irish music is a music that has reached out and informs the traditions of other lands. We hope you enjoy this glimpse of Irish heritage as recounted through a selection of music played by the Emerald Centre's resident Comhaltas group. There is a glimpse of Irish history in every note. 2 1.MAGGIE (Polka) ‘Maggie,’ also known as ‘Maggie in the Woods,’ is an ever popular two part polka. The tune is very similar to ‘The Scartaglen Polka,’ though it is unclear which tune came first.

  • Sectarianism in I and in Catholic Nationalist Memory
    Sectarianism in I and in Catholic nationalist memory JAMES S. DONNELLY, JR In the historiography of the 1798 rebellion the accent in recent years has been on politicisation and in particular on exploring the political framework in which the great revolutionary movement of the 1790S took place. On the whole this kind of historical revisionism has been very valuable and has significantly deepened our understanding of what by any measure is one of the most important episodes in thodern Irish history. Some of those scholars most closely associated with this revi- sionist insistence on the political context of 1798 - Louis Cullen, Dáire Keogh,Jim Smyth, and Kevin Whelan, among others - have decried what they regard as an overemphasis on sectarianism, millenarianism, and agrarianism as motivating fac- tors and ideological spurs to action. .Cullen and Whelan have been especially adamant about the primacy of the political framework in relation to the outbreak and conduct of the Wexford rebel- lion. They have drawn attention to the split among the Wexford gentry between liberal and reactionary Protestants, and they have shown how this split, which greatly intensified during the 1790$, gave openings to the United Irishmen and drove many landed Wexford Protestants to adopt even more extreme views as a result of this serious division within their own ranks. Cullen and Whelan have both been at pains to trace the inroads of the United Irishmen into Wexford. They have stressed the degree to which the United Irishmen were able, even if belatedly, to extend their military organisation and revolutionary ideas into the northern part of that county' In arguing specifically against a sectarian interpretation of the out- break of the Wexford rebellion, Cullen seeks to eliminate prior violent repression by the North Cork militia and local yeomanry units as the major precipitant.
