Edward Bunting (1773–1843) the first systematic collector of Irish folksongs was educated as an organ and piano player in Belfast. His life's work fell upon him at nineteen years old when he was commissioned as a scribe to notate performances at a gathering of traditional harp players in Belfast in July 1792. He was so inspired by the music that aided by some of the harpers he embarked immediately upon travels around northwest Ireland to collect some of the old songs already close to disappearing. He published his first collection of Irish music four years later. In that volume and two later ones he published almost 300 airs—some of them according to tradition datingas far back as the tenth century—and practically single-handedly rescued his country's ancient music from oblivion. The present collection the last of Bunting's three such gatherings contains 151 Irish airs arranged for piano with the Irish names of the airs their authors and (where known) their dates of composition.

A major influence on Bach — who once walked 200 miles to hear him perform — Buxtehude is among the great names in Organ music and the study of counterpoint. Born five decades after Heinrich Schütz the 'father of German musicians ' and a little less than half a century before Bach he bridged the era between the founder of Protestant Baroque music and its greatest master. This collection of church chorales attests to Buxtehude 's reputation as an outstanding composer of sacred Vocal music. For his texts the composer drew upon scripture as well as church hymns and contemporary or medieval sacred poetry. Albert Schweitzer in his famous biography ofBach observed that Buxtehude 's chorale preludes are 'chorale fantasias of the most varied kinds from the simplest to the most ingenious. In the simple ones the melody goes its way quietly just embellished here and there with a few ornaments and accompanied by interesting and always ingenious harmonies. . . . In the large chorale preludes Buxtehude tears the melody in pieces throws the fragments into the flood of a brilliant animated fantasia.' Authoritative and modestly priced this treasury of Buxtehude 's works offers organists a source of endless satisfaction and inspiration. Reprint of the Breitkopf & Härtel Leipzig 1903 edition.
