Förlagets beskrivning
The film music of the Irish composer Sean O Riada (1931-1971), specifically the scores to Mise Eire (1959), Saoirse? (1961), and An Tine Bheo (1966), reflects his artistic journey from European art composer to stalwart defender of Irish traditional music. O Riada's training in the European modernist style of composition and subsequent conversion to the Irish traditional aesthetic led to a personal and artistic crisis as he failed to forge a new form of Irish art music. This study investigates connections between O Riada's life and creative output, twentieth-century Irish music aesthetics, Irish cinema, and Irish traditional music. Much of the thesis concerns O Riada's use of the dissimilar elements of Irish traditional music and modernist music and how he exploits this dichotomy in each film score. The work also offers insight into the composer's stylistic acuity and traces his growing commitment to the Irish traditional lifestyle
