Excerpt from The Petrie Collection of the Ancient Music of Ireland, Vol. 1: Arranged for the Piano-Forte In the first place, I feel it due to that Society, and more particularly to some of the most zealous members of its Committee, to state that, but for their solicitation and warm encouragement, it is not at all likely that I should have entered on the compilation of a work requiring, necessarily, not only a great devotion of time and labour, but also an amount of varied talents and powers of research, scarcely to be hoped for in any single individual. And to the possession of Which I, at least, could make but little pretension. A passionate lover of music from my childhood, and of melody especially - that cli Vine essence Without Which music is but as a soulless body - the indulgence of this passion has been, indeed, one of the great, if not the greatest, sources of happiness of my life. Coupled With a never-fading love for nature, and its consequent attendant, an appreciation of the good and beautiful, it has refreshed and reinvigorated my spirits When depressed by the fatigues of mental labour. In the hours of worldly trials, of cares and sorrows, I have felt its power to soothe and console; to restrain from the pursuit of worthless and debasing pleasures, - of soul-corrupting worldly ambitions, destructive of mental peace; and to give contentment in an humble station.

Contains all of Petrie's original text, including song texts in Irish and English; the melodies; and his introduction. The text is prefaced with a biographical essay, which positions the collection in the context of Petrie's life and work, and within the broader field of Irish traditional music. The piano accompaniments written by Petrie's daughter, which were included in the original collection have been removed; instead melodies have been restored back to the form in which Petrie originally notated them.

Edward Bunting (1773–1843), the first systematic collector of Irish folksongs, was educated as an organ and piano player in Belfast. His life's work fell upon him at nineteen years old, when he was commissioned as a scribe to notate performances at a gathering of traditional harp players in Belfast in July 1792. He was so inspired by the music that, aided by some of the harpers, he embarked immediately upon travels around northwest Ireland to collect some of the old songs already close to disappearing. He published his first collection of Irish music four years later. In that volume and two later ones, he published almost 300 airs—some of them, according to tradition, dating as far back as the tenth century—and practically single-handedly rescued his country's ancient music from oblivion. The present collection, the last of Bunting's three such gatherings, contains 151 Irish airs arranged for piano, with the Irish names of the airs, their authors, and (where known) their dates of composition. Hard to find elsewhere, this is an indispensable book not only for students or lovers of Irish music, but also for students of general music history.
