Notas do Editor
The works of musicians are informed, inspired, and populated by what they perceive in the world in which they live. The music reflects and is reflected by the physical environment, the social atmosphere, the political and cultural history, the religion, the language, and the arts of a given place.
The Irish perspective is saturated with the country’s past. This informs the music in several different ways. We don’t see this as much in the Irish-American memory.
