Book Description
Maggie might almost think Jake was perfect, except that he wants to tear down her home to build a golf course. Maggie Moran is an 8th generation Moran to live in the cottage by the sea. She arrived as a teenager from Dublin to live with her grandparents and since then, has carved out a perfect life for herself. The sentimental attachment to her home is strong and she vows that she will not sell. Easier said than done, when the pressure is put on by the handsome and charismatic businessman from the States. Jake Ballard is in Ireland for the summer to get his golf course and resort off the ground in the scenic County Clare cliffside town. He planned to stay only three months in the Emerald Isle, but his undeniable attraction to the feisty Maggie has him wondering if he truly wants to leave—or destroy everything she loves. All is fair in love and war, but can Jake and Maggie possibly figure out a way to mix business with pleasure and have what they both really want?

Music Preferred
Author: Lorraine Byrne Bodley
Publisher: Hollitzer Wissenschaftsverlag
ISBN: 399012403X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 920
Book Description
The contributions to this Festschrift, honouring the distinguished Irish musicologist Harry White on his sixtieth birthday, have wide repercussions and span a broad timeframe. But for all its variety, this volume is built around two axes: on the one hand, attention is focussed on the history of music and literature in Ireland and the British Isles, and on the other, topics of the German and Austrian musical past. In both cases it reflects the particular interest of a scholar, whose playful, sometimes unconventional way of approaching his subject is so refreshing and time and again leads to innovative, surprising insights. It also reflects a scholar, who – for all the broadening of his perspectives that has taken place over the years – has always adhered to the strands of his scholarly preoccupations that have become dear to him: the music of the 'Austro-Italian Baroque', and Irish musical culture first and foremost. An international cast of authors announces the sustaining influence of Harry White's wide-ranging research. Professor Dr Thomas Hochradner Chair of the Department of Musicology University of Music and Dramatic Arts Mozarteum Salzburg

'Twas Only an Irishman's Dream
Author: W. H. A. Williams
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 9780252065514
Category : Irish
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
The image of the Irish in the United States changed drastically over time, from that of hard-drinking, rioting Paddies to genial, patriotic working-class citizens. In 'Twas Only an Irishman's Dream, William H. A. Williams traces the change in this image through more than 700 pieces of sheet music--popular songs from the stage and for the parlor--to show how Americans' opinions of Ireland and the Irish went practically from one extreme to the other. Because sheet music was a commercial item it had to be acceptable to the broadest possible song-buying public. "Negotiations" about their image involved Irish songwriters, performers, and pressured groups, on the one hand, and non-Irish writers, publishers, and audiences on the other. Williams ties the contents of song lyrics to the history of the Irish diaspora, suggesting how ethnic stereotypes are created and how they evolve within commercial popular culture.
