Tunes from the Goodman Manuscripts

by Mick O'Brien, Emer Mayock, Aoife Ní Bhriain

supported by

Rory C An outstanding collection of traditional Irish tunes you won't hear much anywhere else. Expertly recorded, and played with skill and passion. This sounds fresh & vital, despite the age of the songs.
The follow-up album, More Tunes from the Goodman Manuscripts, is just as good!

Willson Great album - really interesting tunes, excellent playing, and really well recorded with nice blending of the instruments so that no single instrument sticks out too much.

balinsky The Goodman Collection is fascinating, but huge. He collected so many tunes. It is great that these artists have gone through and interpreted some great tunes from it. By the way, if you're having trouble unzipping the digital download on a Mac, because of some incompatible text characters in the filenames, use the "open" command from a Terminal window, and it will work.

about

Featuring repertoire drawn from original sources collected by Canon James Goodman (1828-96) in the mid-nineteenth century in his native province of Munster.

The Goodman manuscripts, which since his death have been held in the Library of Trinity College Dublin are of great significance because they preserve much of the traditional music of the south of Ireland as it was sung and played in the years before traditional culture there was devastated by the Great Famine of the 1840s.

Comprising music that could easily have disappeared from the Irish repertory, the manuscripts provide unique insights into the evolution of Irish traditional music.

From these manuscripts, Mick, Emer and Aoife have chosen music ranging from unusual versions of tunes in the modern repertoire to those apparently unique to the collection.

In 2014 the trio received a TG4 Gradam Cheoil award for their collaborative work on exploring this varied and intriguing repertoire.

Absolutely sensational - love the generally low-end tones and planxty-esque set up, but most of all the incredible energy of it! Wish more instrumental trad was like this, love the fact that it's recorded live too. Prangman

Absolutely love that deep concertina sound. And the range of expression that Cormac brings out through this instrument, well beyond the intentions of the designers or makers of these instruments. And, feel sorry for his poor bellows and reeds. He has to do a lot of personal repair on them. Cormac's album design and presentation are beautiful works of art as well. See him in concert if you can. You can really feel those bass notes resonate through a hall. balinsky
