It contains nearly two hundred melodies collected by Petrie as well as song texts in Irish and English and detailed notes by Petrie about their sources." "This new edition contains all of Petrie's original text, the melodies and his introduction. The text is prefaced by a biographical essay that positions the collection in the context of Petrie's life and work and within the broader field of Irish traditional music. The piano accompaniments, written by Petrie's daughter and included in the first edition, have been removed. Instead, the melodies have been restored to their original form by reference both to Stanford's The Complete Collection of the Ancient Music of Ireland as Noted by George Petrie (1789-1866) and to the original manuscripts held in the National Library of Ireland. Cooper's new edition also contains a completely reset version of the text, in which the Irish spelling has been modernized and a standard font adopted. The new edition of this book will form an invaluable addition to the bookshelves of both students and performers of Irish traditional music."--BOOK JACKET.
