Every song has a story – Understanding Letters from Ireland

February 18, 2021 by debisimonsgmail-com Leave a Comment

Cover of A Companion to Letters from Ireland, showing a picture of stringed instruments“Letters from Ireland” is a delightful set of arrangements of Irish folk songs by Mark Brymer with accompanying extracts from letters and diaries of the time. This book contains historical and literary essays on the lyrics of those folk songs. Have you ever wondered what a “cockle” is or why the color green is associated with Ireland? If so, these essays will tell you that and much more.

Buy my book for an individual or an entire choir on Behind-the-Music.com in PDF, Kindle, or Apple formats. Also available on Amazon in Kindle or paperback.
