Aloys Fleischmann (1880-1964): An Immigrant Musician in Ireland

$61.48
 
This book outlines the career of one of the most distinguished figures in Irish musical life in the first half of the twentieth century -- a Bavarian organist, Aloys Fleischmann, Sr., whose son would later become Professor of Music in UCC. Fleischmann senior came to international attention through his work with the North Cathedral Choir in Cork, which was regarded as one of the finest of its kind. He was a prolific composer who wrote nearly 400 works, and he was a highly respected teacher whose students included Sean O Riada.



An abundance of documentation concerning Fleischmann's career has survived, which makes it possible to present an authoritative account of his richly varied professional life and to illuminate the cultural and social context in which he worked. His music is assessed by Seamas de Barra, with an annotated catalogue of the compositions.
