Notes & Narratives: Eilís Lavelle

Eilís Lavelle – “James Cody: An Insight into Notations of a Nineteenth-Century Piper & Collector”

James Cody, a piper and Irish teacher, was employed by the music collector Edward Bunting (1773–1843) to transcribe music and lyrics in the early nineteenth century. The output of Cody’s collection work for Bunting is preserved in the Bunting collection. In addition, James Cody contributed to the manuscripts of Patrick O’Neill (1765–1832).

Na Píobairí Uilleann presents Notes & Narratives – a series of monthly performance-based lectures on traditional music, song and dance by some of Ireland’s finest traditional artists.
