  • Musical Allusions in Finnegans Wake
    Bucureşti 2013 Press Release Musical Allusions in Finnegans Wake Edited by C. George Sandulescu. Redacted by Lidia Vianu. In three volumes: ISBN 978-606-8366-48-7; 978-606-8366-49-4; 978-606-8366-50-0 Finnegans Wake has many names in it: they can be found in the linearized version of Adaline Glasheen’s Third Census that Contemporary Literature Press has just published. Finnegans Wake also has songs in it. Many songs: titles, lines, mere words, or simply rhythms that are detected instinctively by those who happen to see them. For those who do not, we are now publishing a book that aims at an inventory of all the music in the book: it is a heavily processed version of J. C. Hodgart and Mabel P. Worthington’s Song in the Works of James Joyce, published in 1959. The songs, too, point to something. They are doors that lead to meaning. Such connections between words, or just sounds, rather, and a large number of things that could only with difficulty be named, are the very essence of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake. Musical Allusions in Finnegans Wake is, however, different from the other books we have published so far in our series of Joyce Lexicography. Those who know that Joyce was one of the best Irish tenors, yet he gave up singing in favour of writing, realize why. The connections between certain words and other words, whether titles of books, excerpts from them, names of authors, or simply words from another language are, eventually, a matter of spoken sounds.

  • The Mostly Celtic Songbook
    The Mostly Celtic Songbook Mostly Celtic Songbook 2 Introduction After sitting in on some of the Tuesday evening open jam sessions at C.B. Hannegan’s in Los Gatos, and trying to sing along but not remembering the lyrics, it seemed like a good idea to compile a songbook that we could all share. After one or two pints and a few encouraging words from Tony Becker, the idea became a project. So, here it is. It’s not by any stretch of the imagination complete, but it does contain many of the Celtic traditional songs1) that are played, along with some popular country and folk songs. The songs included here are the ones played most frequently, and some I added on my own. In some cases, I took the liberty of editing some of the traditional lyrics for readability, especially the lyrics I got from the Web, and adding or changing a few chords, since many of the songs exist in several different versions anyway. Some of the song titles are listed without the leading “The” and “A” in the index, to make it easier to find them. The chords are written in Nashville notation (well, sort of), so transposing is a piece of cake. For example, the root chord is represented as a 1, and the other chords are numbered according to their relationship to the root chord. So, in the key of C, a C chord is 1, an Am chord is 6m, an F chord is 4, a G7 is 57, and so on. Chord numbering in relative minor keys is arbitrarily based on the root of the corresponding major key, so a Dm is 6m, where F is 1.

  • Consultation on the Status, Treatment and Use of the National Anthem
    Consultation on The Status, Treatment and Use of the National Anthem Receipt No: 1 Caroline Plant Irish citizen - private, no expertise in matters copyright or otherwise. From the Public Consultation Paper: "In terms of free speech, placing restrictions around the use of the National Anthem may contravene well established rights within this area. Many other nations choose to explicitly place their National Anthems in the public domain and rely on public opinion to police what is appropriate usage of them. This allows for freedom of speech and expression, but with the caveat that this same freedom of speech will also ensure negative publicity and reaction from the general population for instances of inappropriate usage, in whatever forms this may take." Why is this even up for debate? Why is it necessary to 'protect' a song? Why would we want to move in the same direction as countries such as Russia, Bangladesh, India, the Philippines and Singapore? None of these countries are shining examples of democracy. Making rules restricting people from causing offence never works in practice. Any rules regarding the National Anthem and offence would just go the same way as our Blasphemy law - unenforceable and pointless. We have enough problems enforcing laws in relation to crimes where people or property are actually harmed or damaged in this country, let alone enforcing a law for something as nebulous as offence. And that is before we consider the situation that allows a person to perhaps, for example, be prosecuted for changing the lyrics to the anthem to satirize the government of the day.
