Irish Melodies Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Irish Songs: A Collection of Airs Old and New While the airs that have become most popular possess some peculiar attraction in rhythm, melody, or sentiment that has made them linger in the heart, there are other airs less direct, perhaps, in their appeal but more subtle in their charm. In the nature of things such airs are less widely known. Quite a sheaf of them are to be found in this volume. They possess uncommon beauty in music and text, together with the true Celtic flavor, and must appeal to lovers of the artistic in Folk Song everywhere. Apart from the melodies of Old Ireland, some of the modern popular Irish songs have been incorporated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
