Scotland and Ireland share a common cultural background, but maintain very independent identities. In this course we will look at the manner in which traditions of music define each and, looking at the development of these traditions from the 18th to the 20th century, inform the modern, independent traditions as we see them today. These will include reflexes of Scottish and Irish musical traditions as they can be found in Cape Breton, southern Appalachia and the modern, redefined movement of “Celtic” music.
