This module facilitates a critical engagement with the music of Ireland in its broadest sense, and musicological and ethnomusicological research into music in Ireland. Through case studies which build on the interests of a range of staff members, students will explore issues and current trends relating to the music of Ireland, including topics such as identity and representation; colonialism and post-colonial thought; music and nationalism; authenticity; Irish art music in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries; new composition in Irish traditional music; and music and politics.
