Reifying Irish Song: in the interstices of orality and literacy: Irish song
has been documented for over 200 years.  Both an oral and a literate
tradition, the ways that these two dimensions of song intersect provide a
fascinating way to understand their effects on Irish tradition. Although
primacy today is supposedly given to the oral over the literate, it is
interesting to study how the views of the early collectors continue to inform
perspectives on both words and music. In this paper, multiforms of the same
song will provide material for a discussion on form and structure in order to
understand how literate views of tradition still continue to permeate attitudes
to authenticity and excellence.
