Traditional Irish Music Links for Voice
Many traditional Irish tunes and melodies feature vocal accompaniment with a variety of songs and ballads passed down through generations, telling tales of affection, grief and unrequited love. Another unique style of singing in Ireland is the traditional ‘Sean-nós’ (Irish for ‘old style’) - a highly ornamented style of unaccompanied traditional Irish singing. Sean Nós is a soulful and emotionally expressive style which varies from region to region.
