Today soprano, Ailish Tynan with pianist Iain Burnside present a song recital celebrating Irish texts: Composers like Barber and Symanowski have been inspired by the texts of James Joyce, while Herbert Hughes, Benjamin Britten, Mendelssohn, Duparc and Charles Ives have each set texts by Thomas Moore. Barber's Hermit songs go back to Irish texts dating from the 8th - 13th centuries
