| Added by magataganm, 26 Jul 2013 The folk music of Ireland (also known as Irish traditional music, Irish trad, Irish folk music, and other variants) is the generic term for music that has been created in various genres in Ireland. Historically much old-time music of the USA grew out of the music of Ireland, England and Scotland, as a result of cultural diffusion. By the 1970s Irish traditional music was again influencing music in the USA and further afield in Australia and Europe. It has occasionally been fused with rock and roll, punk rock and other genres, as in certain recordings of Horslips, Thin Lizzy, The Corrs, The Chieftains, Enya, Clannad, Riverdance, and Van Morrison. "Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore" is a traditional Irish folksong about immigration from an anonymous artist. The English Lyrics read: From Derry quai we sailed away On the 23rd of May We were taken on board by a pleasant crew Bound for Americay Fresh water there we did take on Five thousand gallons or more In case we'd run short going to NewYork Far away from the Shamrock shore. . . . Although this work was originally written for Folk Instruments & Voice, I created this arrangement for Celtic or Concert (Pedal) Harp. | |||
