ERIN documents two of Thomas Moore\u2019s song series – the Irish Melodies<\/em> (1808-1834) and National Airs<\/em> (1818-1827) – as well as music inspired by his \u2018oriental romance\u2019 Lalla Rookh<\/em> (1817). ERIN enables the user to track the production and dissemination of these pieces in Europe from their respective dates of creation through to 1880.<\/p>\n

All of ERIN’s resources are now available at www.erin.qub.ac.uk. This website unites the previously available blog and OMEKA resources (images) with some new features, including podcasts, and a catalogue.<\/p>\n

ERIN\u2019s home page directs the user to its resources, and also to a user\u2019s Survey<\/span> that will help us to plan further projects on Thomas Moore. The \u2018Irish Melodies\u2019<\/span> tab leads to an introductory page, at the bottom of which are links to two collections of images dedicated to this series, which enable the user to discover different editions of the texts, illustrations inspired by the Irish Melodies, and also editions of the music. The reader can also access two digital exhibitions on the Irish Melodies. Likewise, the \u2018National Airs\u2019<\/span> tab leads to some introductory text, with a link to a collection of images documenting Moore\u2019s series alongside some similar collections of European national songs, with another link to a digital exhibition. The \u2018Lalla Rookh\u2019<\/span> tab leads to a collection of images and a digital exhibition that document musical works and illustrations inspired by Moore\u2019s Lalla Rookh. The Podcasts<\/span> tab leads to recordings that document rarely heard music inspired by Lalla Rookh, and some of Moore\u2019s Irish Melodies in rarely heard arrangements. The Blog<\/span> tab leads to \u2018Thomas Moore in Europe\u2019, a resource with over 50 short essays that can be browsed, or searched through its index. Topics include: concert music, domestic music, exhibitions, illustrated editions, Irish music, European libraries, pantomime, publishers, songs, and theatre music. One blog provides details of our radio documentary, \u201cAn oriental romance: Thomas Moore\u2019s Lalla Rookh\u201d.<\/p>\n

The catalogue<\/span>: the \u2018Home\u2019 tab and the \u2018Search resources\u2019 tab leads to the \u2018simple search\u2019 interface of the ERIN catalogue, a resource which documents editions of Moore\u2019s Irish Melodies, his National Airs, and also music inspired by these series as well as music inspired by Lalla Rookh. The time frame is 1808-1880; European publications only are featured; it represents the collections of eight European libraries in Ireland, the UK, France, and Germany. The introduction to this resource will be continued in the next blog.<\/p>\n
