Irish Musical Studies Book on Music Analysis
The series is published by Four Courts Press, and has given a platform to a wide range of historically-inclined Irish musicological writing, including a selection of books on music in Ireland in the seventeenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The new book is divided in two, with the first part including various analytical perspective on Irish composers such as Kevin Volans and Gerald Barry, and the second engaging more broadly with mainstream analytical approaches to nineteenth and twentieth century music. Contributors include Patrick Zuk and Áine Heneghan, the former of whose past articles for the Journal of Music can be read here. The volume is edited by Julian Horton of University College Dublin and Gareth Cox of Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, and will be out later this year.
