Dominic Behan's Classic Anthology of Irish Songs, Ballads, and Musical Heritage

First compiled in the 1960s and widely published in 1973 by Tro Essex Music, Ireland Sings: An Anthology of Modern and Ancient Irish Songs and Ballads is a cherished songbook and cultural collection edited by the influential Irish songwriter, singer, and playwright Dominic Behan.

Brother of legendary author Brendan Behan and composer of iconic folk anthems like "The Patriot Game" and "McAlpine's Fusiliers," Dominic Behan brings unmatched authenticity and passion to this collection. The anthology gathers a vibrant selection of ancient Irish melodies, street ballads, working-class tunes, love songs, and political rebel ballads. Complete with musical notation, full lyrics, and Behan's sharp, affectionate, and historically grounded commentary, Ireland Sings provides a captivating window into the enduring musical soul and socio-political history of Ireland.

Why You'll Love This Book

A vital resource for musicians, singers, and scholars of folk traditions, Ireland Sings remains a landmark contribution to Irish cultural history. Readers and performers who appreciate traditional folk music, song preservation, and works associated with The Dubliners, The Clancy Brothers, Christy Moore, Ewan MacColl, and Pete Seeger will find this collection indispensable.
