""Irish Minstrelsy"" is a collection of Irish songs, lyrics, and ballads, both original and translated, compiled by H. Halliday Sparling. The book features a wide range of traditional Irish music, including love songs, patriotic ballads, and humorous ditties. The songs are presented in both English and the original Irish language, with Sparling providing translations and historical context for each piece. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Irish music and culture, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich musical heritage of Ireland.1887. From the Introduction: In the small volume to which these pages are prefixed, an attempt has been made to present such a collection from the lyric wealth of Ireland as would fulfill two distinct important functions-the furnishing to all readers a fairly adequate opportunity of judging Irish character as it is shown in the most self-revealing of all means of expression; and the providing Irish readers with a book that, in its scope and completeness, might take rank on their shelves with Gavan Duffy's Ballad Poetry and the Spirit of the Nation. This twofold aim, ambitious though it be, has been kept steadily in view; every song, ballad, or lyric is by an Irish writer, upon an Irish theme, and clearly Celtic in thought and feeling. Wherever possible it is one, also, that has actually been popular among the peasantry, who have always been the depository of the song, music, and story, that are now finding securer keeping in printed books.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
