Karen Ralls-Macleod, "Music and the Celtic Otherworld: From Ireland to Iona"
English | 2000 | ISBN: 0312232411 | PDF | pages: 230 | 8.2 mb
Drawing on her classical music training, Ralls-MacLeod (Celtic and religious studies, U. of Edinburgh) reviews the literature, mostly medieval Irish, to explore the portrayal of spiritual music, whether Christian or from older traditions. Performers, instruments, effects, places, and times attract her notice. Her study is based on a Ph.D. dissertation for the University of Edinburgh.
