Identité et Musique en Irlande - recherches universitaires

This website contains the equivalent of 500 pages (or about 120,000 words) IN FRENCH + about 30 minutes of music, the result of my research on Ireland and her music.

I would be glad to receive any suggestion, question, or constructive criticism by email (see contact page).
Please remember that I'm not a musicologist, my interest going mainly to Irish social and cultural history, and that my opinion has changed on a number of points since I wrote this text in 1996.
