About
This is the first survey of the general position of music in Ireland which has been attempted. It consists of a series of forty articles by eminent Irish musicians and by other authorities. It includes, moreover, lists giving details of the chief institutions, professional bodies, choirs, orchestras, music festivals, music clubs and societies, as well as a register of music teachers and of cathedral organists.
Sir Arnold Bax, the Master of the King's Music, recalls, in the Foreword, his experiences during his many visits to Ireland. The Editor, Professor Aloys Fleischmann, in a preliminary survey, sketches in the historical background.
The book is divided into three sections: Music in the Institutions; the Profession of Music, and Music and the Public.
