IBSL is thrilled to share the upcoming global release of ‘Songs from the North of Ireland’, Carolyn Dobbin and IBSL Patron Iain Burnside’s programme of songs from two of Ulster’s 20th-century female composers, Dorothy Parke (1904-1990) and Joan Trimble (1915-2000).
Songs from the North of Ireland: Dorothy Parke | Joan Trimble.
Delphian.
““Dorothy Parke is well known for her songs for children but is revealed here as a much more wide-ranging composer, steeped in the folk melody and poetry of Ireland.””
As champions of composers, especially Irish women whose music deserves wider recognition, we at the Ina Boyle Society are very much looking forward to this new release.
“Joan Trimble, an accomplished concert pianist, left behind only a handful of published songs but a small trove of manuscripts, including her opera Blind Raftery, written for BBC Television in 1957, two arias from which complete this journey of discovery.””
The global release date for ‘Songs from the North of Ireland’ is 18th October 2024.
