Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Irish Poems of Alfred Perceval Graves: Countryside Songs Songs and Ballads Thomas Moore´s best work was written under the influence of Irish airs which he brought ever with him to England, or which followed him there when his Melodies had taken all hearts by storm. But Moore wrote professedly for the upper classes, and but once only in Anglo-Irish dialect. And small wonder. The vulgarities of Stage Irish Songs doubtless determined him to set his face against any form of lyric that could suggest them. But Samuel Lover, who followed him, boldly accepted Lady Morgan´s challenge to find worthy substitutes for the execrable travesters of native humour contained in the Irish Popular Songs of their day with the results now so wellknown. Yet though Lover, like Moore, was largely inspired by Irish Music and an adapter and singer of Irish airs as well, like Moore also, he let the great body of Gaelic Folk Song quite alone.
